Jordan Youth Unemployment Near 50 Percent
The article focused on the report by the Jordanian Labor Observatory, which confirmed that the youth unemployment rate in Jordan remains high, reaching 45% in the first quarter of 2026. Despite an increase in the number of new job opportunities during the first half of the same year, unemployment rates did not decrease due to the instability of these jobs and their misalignment with the skills of young people and market demands. The report recommended developing vocational and technical education, enhancing digital and technological specializations, and linking education to the needs of the labor market. It also emphasized the importance of adopting economic policies to stimulate job opportunities and improve social protection, especially for young men and women in remote areas.
