Abstract

This research outlines the socio-economic impact of the Jordanian labor migration to the Arab Oil Countries on the migrant worker himself. Such impact includes changes in level of education, health, social status, job experience and stability, sources and level of income, saving and investment patterns, economic concerns for each of the home country and host country, and the value of the US dollar. The results indicated positive changes in the migrant’s economic and educational standards, and negative changes in the migrant’s job stability, health and psychological condition.
