Abstract
The Middle East region faces significant unemployment challenges, particularly among youth and Syrian refugees, due to legal and social barriers. Humanitarian efforts often fail to create substantial job opportunities, with a focus on tech roles, leaving non-tech professionals, especially female refugee youth, with few options. Remote work emerges as a promising solution, offering flexibility and accessibility, and overcoming traditional employment hurdles. This study explores the feasibility of remote work for refugees, aiming to empower them and bridge the talent-opportunity gap.
