24). The effect is similar for ex-Gazans outside Jerash and other Palestinian refugees except that the negative impact of higher education for ex-Gaza women outside Jerash camp is not observed. Per cent Figure 24 Unemployment in Jerash camp by gender and educational attainment. Percentage (n=2,863). 50 Women 40 Men 30 20 10 0 No completed schooling Elementary Preparatory/ Basic Secondary Post-secondary A majority of all unemployed Palestinian camp refugees (63%) have been without a job for over a year (Figure 25). Such long-term unemployment is slightly higher amongst exGazans outside Jerash camp. However, short-term unemployment lasting less than six months, and particularly unemployment of duration shorter than one month, is more common amongst ex-Gazans in Jerash camp, found in 10% of cases compared to 4% amongst other ex-Gazans and 6% amongst other camp refugees. This finding resonates with other statistics presented below on the irregularity of employment and the high prevalence of daily, weekly, and seasonal labour which, taken together, underline the precariousness of the employment of ex-Gazans in Jerash camp. Figure 25 Duration of unemployment.

Amongst boys aged 10 to 14, ex-Gazans in Jerash do not work much more often than other Palestinian refugees, with 2.6% of ex-Gazan boys in Jerash camp and 2.4% of other (non-ex-Gazan) Palestinian refugee boys being in the labour force. These numbers are significantly higher among ex-Gaza boys in other camps, 4.7% of whom are in the labour force, something which supports the previous ‘Just getting by’ Ex-Gazans in Jerash and other refugee camps in Jordan 65
