Research Summary
Most refugee women work in the Jordanian labor market in exceptional circumstances, as many Syrian refugee women do not have ample opportunities to work fairly, and many of them lose their rights to register in social security, the levels of wages they receive, compared to the levels of wages imposed according to the Jordanian (where the minimum wage is 220 Jordanian dinars for a worker), working with a work contract and no official registration for them as workers, which makes them lose the right to compensation in the event of work injuries, and to obtain their rights (appropriate salaries and wages) from employers. The researcher aims to show the percentages of Syrian refugee women working in the Jordanian labor market, the percentages of them registered in the Jordanian Social Security Corporation, working conditions and sectors in which they work, and the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic and the ban imposed on their work.
“Most of the Syrian refugee women working in Jordan do not enjoy optimal and legal work rights “.
Likewise, “most of the working Syrian refugee women, who constitute 20% of the working refugees, do not have the right to register with the Jordanian Social Security Institution “.
Many women working in the Jordanian market, whether in agriculture, trade, or other sectors, are ignorant of the benefits of registering for social security, and are ignorant of their rights at work, so the researcher will carry out his research on the community of Syrian refugee women in Jordan, whose distribution is concentrated in the northern governorates In the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Mafraq, Irbid, Amman, Zarqa, and the Syrian refugee camps). The researcher will choose the research sample according to the snowball method. Where data will be collected from the study sample using the direct interview method, and a questionnaire will be filled out for the study.
The researcher hopes to fill the social and legal gaps that prevent the registration of refugee women working in the Social Security Institution in Jordan, focus on developing job opportunities suitable for them, highlight the inhuman conditions of work and the violations that refugee women working in the Jordanian labor market are exposed to. The researcher hopes to present appropriate proposals to save many women from exploitation in the Jordanian labor market, and to submit proposals that contribute to developing job opportunities in light of the exceptional and harsh conditions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.
