The Impact of Labor Migration on Job Concerns of the Jordanian Migrant Workers
Hussein Farhan Ramzoun

Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine how labor migration (as a process) can affect the job stability and concerns of the Jordanian migrant workers who worked in the Arab Oil Countries. Such an effect will include changes in income resources, investment, health insurance, new skills and job stability. A questionnaire was designed and given to a random sample of 180 migrant workers who worked in the Arab Oil Countries for more than three years before they came back to Jordan. The results indicated a sharp decrease in health insurance among returned migrants, a considerable decline in the ratio of employed workers against a similar increase in the ratio of workers working in trade or private owned shops, far from their original skill or profession. The highest investment among migrant workers, however, was in the areas of housing, trade and education, far from their original profession or area of interest.
