Abstract

This dissertation explores the intersection of labor law and social security law within Jordanian legislation, focusing on the critical issue of existing gaps and inconsistencies in legal protections for workers. Through a combination of qualitative legal analyses and quantitative assessment of labor force participation, social security claims, and relevant case law, this research identifies a complex relationship characterized by both cooperation and conflict between the two legal frameworks. Key findings reveal that while labor law provides a foundation for workers’ rights, the social security law often fails to offer comprehensive coverage, particularly in areas related to healthcare, leaving many workers vulnerable. The significance of these findings underscores the urgent need for systematic reforms to enhance the legal safeguards for workers, particularly in accessing healthcare services. The broader implications of this study extend to the fields of labor rights advocacy and public health policy, suggesting that improved legal protections can lead to better health outcomes for the workforce, thus fostering a more equitable and productive labor market in Jordan. By illuminating the interdependencies between labor law and social security law, this research contributes valuable insights that can drive legislative change and promote sustainable improvements in the well-being of workers and the overarching healthcare system.
