International Labour Organization (Jordan)

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan became a member of the ILO in 1956, ten years after gaining independence. General unemployment is estimated to be between 12-14 per cent and nearly half of the country’s six million are under the age of 19, putting an increased focus on the need to provide jobs to a burgeoning work force.

Jordan has also put forth 32 national strategies and policy frameworks including:

The Jordan Vision 2025;
The Jordan Economic Growth Plan 2018-2022;
The National Employment Strategy;
National Strategy for Human Resource Development (2019-2020); and
A Policy Matrix consolidated by the World Bank (with some inputs from the ILO) that aggregates all the conditions of bilateral donors supporting the country.
