This study enhances the policy debate by examining the broad socioeconomic impacts of hosting displaced Rohingya population on their surrounding communities in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. While prior research has touched on this topic by investigating the effects of camps on specific outcomes, this study stands out as it delves into an assessment of the comprehensive socioeconomic effects of refugee camps in nearby communities within a context where forcibly displaced populations are confined to camps. Consequently, these forcibly displaced individuals rely entirely on humanitarian aid. This focus provides a unique perspective on the dynamics between refugee camps, humanitarian aid, and host communities.
