in Jerash and ex-Gazans in other camps (8% for both groups). A large proportion of women in the Jordanian labour market work within the public sector, which, with shorter workdays and additional benefits, is often considered more ‘family friendly’ to women with family and childcare responsibilities (see for example Majcher-Telon and Slimene, 2009, p. 8; Assaad, Hendy and Yassin, 2012; World Bank, 2013, p. 34). Thus, as seen in chapter 6, the particularly high female labour force participation in Souf camp is likely explained by their greater access to public employment. Other ‘appropriate’ jobs for women, according to both men and women interviewed, were primarily those defined as professional positions in the private sector -nurse, doctor, pharmacist, teacher, lawyer — most of which are generally unavailable to ex-Gazans.
