Jordanian youth possess capabilities and knowledge that deserve a wider space in public work. They are the closest to technology, the digital economy, and the accelerating transformations in education and the labor market. They are also the most exposed to the challenges of unemployment, the gap between university specializations and employment opportunities, and the need for new skills that keep pace with artificial intelligence and emerging professions. These challenges require organized work that studies their causes and provides realistic solutions that are actionable and measurable.
Herein lies the importance of parties as a framework that gathers ideas, organizes demands, and transforms common issues into programs and policies. However, their success in attracting youth is linked to their ability to give them an influential role that goes beyond membership and event attendance to drafting programs, leading initiatives, and participating in committees and decision-making positions. A party that wants to express the new generation must listen to them and allow them to contribute to defining their priorities and developing their tools.
