Strategies to Boost Employment in Ma'an
The article addresses the crisis of rising unemployment rates in Ma'an Governorate, which reached 28.9% according to a study by the Economic and Social Council, and 26.6% according to the Public Statistics Department's report. It also highlights the impact of this on the weak social protection net, with fewer than 10,000 individuals enrolled in social security (70% of whom are Jordanians), a figure significantly lower than the rate in other governorates. The article presents a set of recommendations to stimulate employment and expand the social insurance base, including directing the Social Security Fund’s investments to support local productive projects, leveraging the governorate’s tourist sites to create sustainable job opportunities, revitalizing struggling major industries, and enhancing the role of mining companies in employment and training to ensure a protected work environment with adequate insurance. The goal is to reduce the gap in social protection and stimulate economic growth in Ma'an.
