The Impact of Direct Foreign Investment on Unemployment in Jordan

This study aimed at recognizing the size of direct foreign investment in Jordan and its impact on the rate of unemployment in Jordan. It also aimed at recognizing the con- straints against the foreign investment. The study concludes that the low levels of these investments are attributed to the lack of regulating legislations that encourage foreign investment in Jordan. The study recommends the development of services and infra- structures; besides, the Jordanian concerned departments should prepare and dissemi- nate the information on investment opportunities in Jordan.
