A Game of Loss: The Cost of Non- integration of People with Disabilities in the Jordanian Labor Market.

- Abstract
- Jordan is a nation marked by an everchanging growing population primarily derived from its geographical position and relative political stability compared to its neighbouring countries, making it one of the primary recipients of refugees in the region. Population increases were marked by a vast boost in the number of disabled individuals in the country, especially individuals of working age, to the point where in 2015, this value accrued to 13%. Despite the efforts made by Buckup (2009) in trying to quantify the costs of the non-integration of people with disabilities in the labor market when considering country-specific information, none of his case studies was applied either to Jordan or in the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA).

- Jordan is a nation marked by an everchanging growing population primarily derived from its geographical position and relative political stability compared to its neighbouring countries, making it one of the primary recipients of refugees in the region. Population increases were marked by a vast boost in the number of disabled individuals in the country, especially individuals of working age, to the point where in 2015, this value accrued to 13%. Despite the efforts made by Buckup (2009) in trying to quantify the costs of the non-integration of people with disabilities in the labor market when considering country-specific information, none of his case studies was applied either to Jordan or in the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA). By leveraging on Buckup’s methodology, the current thesis provides the very first study on the economic impact of the non-integration of people with disabilities in the country, concluding that in 2015 this value accrued to 8% of GDP. More than a quantitative analysis, this thesis aims to provide cultural and macroeconomic explanations for this value. (Less)
