people’s work, such as their occupations and sectors of employment. However, due to the small sample taken from Jerash camp, the ability to report on sub-groups is limited. The surveys employed the ‘past week’ reference period, as is common. Figure 17 The ILO framework for labour force measurement. The male labour force Among male ex-Gazans aged 15 and above in Jerash camp, the labour force participation rate is 69%. This is dramatically different from their ex-Gaza counterparts in other camps, who at 76% labour force participation, have a higher share of men in the labour force than other Palestinian refugees at 70%. As shown in Figure 18, ex-Gaza men elsewhere display the highest labour force participation rate at all ages, whereas the rate for ex-Gazans in Jerash is lower than both other groups for most age groups.
