Migrant support measures from an employment and skills perspective (MISMES): Jordan
The latest MISMES inventory is a follow-up study on MISMES practices. However, due to the Country’s unique circumstances, the Jordan report targeted not only Jordanian emigrants and returnees, but also foreign labour immigrants and refugees/asylum seekers. In this report, MISMES are defined as specific policy interventions in all phases of the migration cycle, targeting those particular groups. To qualify as MISMES, a policy intervention should mobilise specific budget resources (regardless of who funds or implements the action), usually over a specific period (between 2000 and 2016). MISMES aim to improve labour market integration of migrants (e.g. facilitating labour mobility, job and skills matching, livelihood and employment opportunities, labour market information and protection) or skills utilisation and enhancement of migrants (e.g. skills development courses, work-based learning, career guidance and counselling, recognition and validation of skills). After making an inventory of existing measures, their key elements are identified in terms of efficiency, if any, and impact on the three target groups for their labour market Integration and skills utilisation.
