The researcher and social economy expert, Dr. Ahmed Ouadh, director of the Phoenix Center for Economic and Social Studies, said that informal work in Jordan is growing more and more because of rising unemployment rates. An increase that pushes workers to accept all the conditions against a job.
In this context, the online newspaper 'Amman.net' reported that studies conducted by the Statistics Department and the Ministry of General Planning (studies carried out in 2011, the results of which were published in 2012), have demonstrated that informal work in Jordan at that time was 44% of the total workforce. According to Ahmed Ouadh, this rate has since increased because of economic changes.
In an interview with the program 'Workers of the Country', the director of the Phoenix Center for Economic and Social Studies, explained that the government is primarily responsible for regulating the economy and the labor market and that it can reduce informal work by creating new jobs and by providing facilitation in this direction.
