Jordan

Jordan has been a member of the International Labour Organization (ILO) since 1956 and has actively engaged in improving labour standards. It has ratified 26 ILO conventions, including 7 Fundamental Conventions, 3 Governance Conventions, and 16 Technical Conventions. These commitments reflect Jordan's focus on promoting decent work, social dialogue, and labour rights. Key labour market issues in Jordan include high unemployment, especially among youth and women, and challenges related to the employment of Syrian refugees. The ILO supports Jordanian nationals and non-Jordanians including refugees and migrant workers, enhancing social and labour protections, promoting equitable employment conditions and strengthening their equitable participation in the labour markets. The ILO has been a crucial partner in addressing these concerns, working on initiatives aimed at enhancing social protection and creating sustainable jobs.
