Jordan’s challenging economic situation over the last two decades has disproportionately affected young people and women. At the end of 2021, women’s employment rate was one of the lowest in the world, while youth unemployment reached nearly 50 per cent. This is particularly concerning, given that almost a third of the country’s population are between 16 and 30 years old.
This research explores the aspirations and experiences of young Jordanians and Syrians living in Jordan. The analysis provides a detailed picture of the challenges facing young people in Jordan as they transition from education to employment. It demonstrates the widening gap between aspiration and opportunity, and highlights the additional barriers faced by young women and Syrian refugees in the country.
