Combating Poverty & Unemployment (Job Creation)

Because labor market can't contain all jobseekers, and because of random supply and demand, Shiraa' is seeking to establish a labor office for jobseekers to find jobs to reduce unemployment, especially among young people. Such office shall set up such cultural, vocational and training programs to rehabilitate such job applicants and train them on such skills that will qualify them to enter into labor market.

Therefore, a study on the needs of the Palestinian labor market and labor force in the public and private sectors shall be conducted. On this basis, a database on unemployment and competence and places of such employment seekers shall be prepared. Performing such a project shall take a period of three years during which the labor office shall be able to do the following:

- Contributing to the development of Palestinian economy.

- Reducing unemployment among people.

- Working on an independent Palestinian labor market and then

integrating it with the surroundings.
