AMMAN — Pursuant to the Royal directives to stimulate economic growth and provide all forms of support to citizens, the ministries of industry and municipal affairs, as well as the Greater Amman Municipality, worked to develop and amend the legislative and institutional system that regulates the work-from-home licensing mechanism, to include and enable more professions in all governorates.

The aim is to encourage the largest
number of individuals to start their businesses and projects at the lowest possible
costs.
Director of the Professions and
Licensing Department at the Greater Amman Municipality Adel Al-Suhaiba said
that the new professions draft law offers exemptions to professions practiced
from home, including exempting them from paying any fee in the first three years
after obtaining the license.
Suhaiba told
Jordan News that
the draft law regulating work-from-home jobs “came to keep pace with changes in
the business sector, create an attractive investment environment, and encourage
youths to enter the labor market, especially in light of the difficult living
conditions and the increase in
unemployment”.
He said that the law will contribute
to regulating professions within the boundaries of the Greater Amman
Municipality area, “will define the tasks, duties, responsibilities, and play a
role in achieving integration, harmony and consultation between the municipality
and the competent authorities, as well as create an environment that attracts
investments through modern and advanced legislation”.
Rana Hammad, who decided to start
her own business at home after many unsuccessful attempts to find a job, told
Jordan
News that the new professions law “will help us know our rights and duties”
At the same time, “I would like to
be given support and help from a certain entity that shall be following up on
me, especially that my business is still new and I do not have much information
about starting up a new business”, so the new professions law comes in handy.
Hammad said that finding a job in
Jordan “is really difficult nowadays”.
“I encourage all the unemployed to
start their own businesses; this is the only solution left for us to live and
earn money,” she said.
Alaa Mohammad, another women who
decided to start her own business at home, told
Jordan News that “it is
amazing to see that the government is finally supporting new and small
businesses, especially in light of the difficult economic conditions. I believe
that the
government should now teach us how to grow our businesses”.
She said that she supports
regulating the new professions, “especially that this contributes to creating fair
competition”.
