Jordan’s textile sector sees wage boost as government responds to worker needs

Jordan’s Ministry of Labour has announced an increase in the minimum wage for workers in the textile industry, raising it to JD230 from JD220. This adjustment is part of the government’s efforts to improve working conditions and address the rising cost of living. The move aims to provide more financial stability to workers, especially in light of inflationary pressures.

The new wage will affect both local and migrant workers employed in the country’s textile and garment sectors, which are crucial to Jordan’s economy. As one of the largest employers in the manufacturing sector, the textile industry plays an important role in the country’s export market.

Labour unions have welcomed the wage increase, noting that it will have a positive impact on workers’ living standards. Employers are now required to ensure compliance with the new wage regulations, which are expected to foster greater equality within the sector.

The government’s decision comes as part of broader efforts to improve the competitiveness of Jordan’s textile industry in the global market, while ensuring that workers are fairly compensated for their labour.
