Experts unanimously agreed on the need to build a comprehensive strategy led by the private sector to reduce unemployment rates, which reached 23.2% in the last quarter of last year according to the latest statistics.
The measures proposed by experts include reducing the cost of business, developing and enhancing the investment environment, reviewing bureaucratic procedures, creating marketing opportunities for local products, in addition to focusing on vocational training in line with the requirements of the labour market.
In this context, the President of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce stated that empowering the private sector is the best solution to confront the high unemployment rates and provide job opportunities. He noted that providing job opportunities in the private sector requires economic growth.
