Job security and satisfaction In line with the data on duration and permanence of employment, there seems to be much lower job security for ex-Gazans, and particularly those in Jerash camp: only 17% of employed ex-Gazans in Jerash have a written contract, compared to 22% of ex-Gazans in other camps, and 35% of other Palestinians. This finding is clearly associated with sector of employment, where the access to a written contract and job security is more common for individuals employed in the public than the private sector, as shown in Figure 29. Furthermore, job security, as measured by the availability of a work contract, is much lower in some sectors than others, and typically those where ex-Gazans from Jerash tend to be over-represented, as reported above, such as the predominantly informal agriculture and construction sectors (where zero and 10%, respectively, have work contracts).

Moreover, the type of sector one works in, which, as mentioned, impacts access to a work contract, is associated with such a fear: it is most often reported by people employed in agriculture (64%) and construction (53%) — where ex-Gazans from Jerash camp often work — and less often reported in public administration (10%) and the health and education sectors (19%). health insurance, which is only half as many as among ex-Gazans elsewhere. A substantially higher proportion of other Palestinian camp refugees — 50% — have at least one of these forms of health insurance. ‘Just getting by’ Ex-Gazans in Jerash and other refugee camps in Jordan 73
