Survey reveals retired women’s social security experiences

AMMAN — A public opinion poll revealed that 49.6 per cent of its female respondents are the primary breadwinners in their family.

Following Jo Womenomics’ launch of its position paper on Social Security Law’s “discriminatory provisions against women”, through the Feminist Integral Centre for Research and Innovation (FICRI), a project funded by the Dutch embassy, its opinion poll highlighted information about women who retired early, women benefiting from old-age pension and women who withdrew their social security benefits.

The opinion poll targeted retired Jordanian women from all 12 governorates, of which 51.4 per cent were over 50 years old, and who refer to the general attitudes and opinions of a large population in the Kingdom.
