The event is held under the patronage of the
ministers of labor, and of industry, trade, and supply, in cooperation with the
General Federation of Jordanian Trade Unions (GFJTU).
In a press
statement issued on Monday, the president of JCI, Fathi Jaghbir, emphasized the
significance of effective labor policies, stating: “As employers, we view labor
as a crucial and indispensable component of the production process.”
He added that the chamber seeks to effect positive
change in labor market policies because they are an important component of
national employment strategies and play a significant role in lowering
unemployment rates and achieving desired economic growth.
Having employers and workers conduct a thorough
dialogue helps communicate demands to the government to adopt efficient
policies that address labor market imbalances, Jaghbir said.
According to him, JCI and GFJTU held a series of
workshops tackling three labor market topics: training and technical education,
social dialogue and partnership, and social protection.
Jaghbir voiced hope that the government will adopt
the conference recommendations and use them as a guide to create efficient
labor market regulations that would increase the market’s efficiency.
A labor market unit, one of the chamber’s new arms, will be
inaugurated on the sidelines of the conference with the goal of addressing
labor market imbalances, developing labor market policies, meeting the
industrial establishments’ need for skilled and trained laborers, and creating
job opportunities in decent, appropriate workplaces.
