Challenges and Limitations to Entering the Workforce in Jordan for People with Disabilities

This K4DD Rapid Evidence Review collates available evidence on challenges and limitations to entering the workforce in Jordan for people with disabilities (PWDs).

The review draws upon an expanding evidence base that includes academic and grey literature. The evidence base is evolving as provisions for PWDs are extended.

Whilst the review identified a progressive commitment by the Jordanian authorities to mandate the inclusion of PWDs in the workforce, a number of challenges persisted. These were often associated with the gap between rhetorical commitments (e.g., legislative frameworks mandating PWDs employment) and practical constraints on their inclusion (e.g., lack of access to education, stigma and social norms, lack of accessibility in workplaces etc.)
