Syrian Refugees in Jordan

Although it is illegal for refugees to work without work permits in Jordan, in practice many are involved in unskilled, low-paid jobs that Jordanian citizens do not want to do. Due to their irregular status, many Syrian refugees are forced into taking jobs in the informal economy, where insurance provision is unlikely, and where workers’ rights – such as compensation for work-related injuries – may be ignored.
