Unacceptable Conditions Faced by Jordanians in the Private Sector Due to Significant Imbalance
The study prepared by the Jordanian Strategies Forum reveals a serious shift in the Jordanian labor market, characterized by a significant increase in employee turnover. The number of workers leaving their jobs rose from 42,680 in 2008 to 94,464 in 2024. Additionally, the proportion of workers who leave due to working conditions doubled from 35% to 70% during the first half of 2025. This indicates that the unemployment issue is not merely a lack of jobs but also the decline in the quality and conditions of work, which is driving employees to resign—particularly in the private sector, where 83.8% of resignations occurred. The findings point to unfavorable working conditions—such as low wages, long working hours, lack of job security, and limited opportunities for advancement—as key factors contributing to this attrition. This trend threatens the sustainability of the labor market and increases costs related to hiring and training. The study recommends measuring job quality, improving legislation, and enhancing oversight. It also stresses the importance of linking economic policies with efforts to improve working conditions and employee protection measures to ensure stability and foster a decent work environment.
