Phenix Center, in collaboration with the FES, has released a comprehensive report titled " Informal Employment in Jordan: Lack of Social Protection“. The report underscores the urgent need for innovative, affordable insurance mechanisms to enhance social security coverage in particular for informal workers, as almost 50% of Jordan's workforce remains excluded from any social protection.

A report by the Phenix Center for Economic and Informatics Studies has unveiled labor rights violations experienced by workers in Jordan's platform economy, highlighting the impact of regulatory gaps and the rapid growth of the sector on working conditions.

Experts unanimously emphasized the necessity of developing effective and sustainable insurance tools to include informal workers in Jordan’s social protection system, allowing them to benefit from the coverage provided by the Social Security Corporation.

Experts are urging civil society in Jordan to unite and enhance human rights by coordinating efforts across legislation, policies, and practices. This includes developing unified action plans, setting priorities, finding effective ways to advocate for change, and addressing a wide range of human rights issues.
