Survey: 25% of Jordanian youth Cancel Marriage before the wedding
Survey results, both local and international, revealed that two-thirds of Jordanian youth (aged 25 to 39) wish to marry and start families, but they face significant economic challenges. The number of unmarried young people in Jordan is estimated at around 400,000, most of whom are struggling with unemployment rates reaching 55% among males and 65% among females, in addition to rising living and housing costs. Despite their desire, 27% of men and women who have married have backed out of completing the marriage due to financial obstacles. The main challenges include rising wages, limited job opportunities, high housing prices, income levels, and the duration of education. The findings emphasize the need for policies that support employment, provide affordable housing, and enhance childcare services to empower young people to achieve their goals of building families.
