EMNES Conference: “Job Creation in the Southern Mediterranean – Perspectives and Challenges”

Economic Development and Employment

May 9 – May 10, Amman. The UfM will participate in the EMNES Policy Conference: “ Job Creation in the Southern Mediterranean – Perspectives and Challenges ”  in Amman on 9-10 May 2018. UfM’s Deputy Secretary General Sudqi Al-Omoush will be giving a speech during the Conference on 9 May.  The EMNES Policy Conference on “Job Creation in the Southern Mediterranean Countries: Perspectives and Challenges” aims at providing a platform for discussion on the socio economic roots of unemployment in the region and on the perspectives and challenges for job creation for developing a policy roadmap to solve the problem of unemployment.

The high unemployment can be considered as a fertile soil for social and political frustration, which may lead to illegal migration, radicalism, and violence. Thus, the consequences of unemployment can affect not only the single countries, but the surrounding region as a whole. Therefore, designing a model of inclusive and sustainable development centered on employment should be considered as a common interest between Southern Mediterranean and European countries and a key to defuse political frustration and prevent radicalization.

The conference is organized under the patronage of His Excellency Prof. Dr. Adel Al Tweissi, Jordanian Minister of Higher Education.  Further, the conference is proud of a long list of outstanding keynotes, senior policy makers and experts, well known economists and commentators. Among them, there is H.E. Prof. Dr. Wajih Oweis (Senator and Former Minister of Higher Education), H.E. Dr. Ziad Fariz (Governor of the Central Bank of Jordan and Former Minister of Finance), Prof. Dr. Zaydan Khafafi (President of Yarmouk University) and others.

The Euro-Mediterranean Network for Economic Studies (EMNES) is a network of partners and associates research institutions and think tanks working on socio-economics in the Euro-Mediterranean. The EMNES project is co-funded by the European Commission and the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association – EMEA.
