Since the onset of the Syrian Refugee Crisis, a number of reports and experts have criticised the impact of the Syrian refugees on the Jordanian labour market, highlighting their concerns about its effect on job opportunities, wages, and working conditions, for Jordanians and immigrant workers alike. On the other side, others have said that the inclusion of Syrians have been limited to handicraft sectors only, which has no impact on local job opportunities.

These two opinions will be discussed in a debate organised by Tamkeen Fields for Aid entitled:

“Does the presence of Syrian Refugees in Jordan affect local employment opportunities?”
