Jordan reports 96 child labor cases in six months
According to data from the Child Labor Inspection Department at the Ministry of Labor for the first half of 2026, 96 cases of child labor were detected, including 73 Jordanian nationals, 18 Syrians, and two Egyptians, out of 2,198 inspected establishments. Additionally, 35 violations were recorded against employers, and 73 cases of violations were rectified and halted. This effort is part of the Ministry’s initiatives to combat child labor through inspection campaigns, awareness programs, and enhanced partnerships, supported by existing laws and legislative amendments. These efforts come amid social and economic challenges that increase the prevalence of child labor, such as poverty and school dropout rates.
