Abstract

Adolescents need tailored support to develop the aspirations and skills they need to become the 鈥榞eneration capable of creativity and innovation with high productivity鈥� envisioned by Jordan鈥檚 new National Youth Strategy. GAGE research findings suggest that adolescents in Jordan, especially Syrian refugees, remain vulnerable to exploitative child labour and rarely benefit from programming for economic empowerment.
