Abstract: The purpose of this evaluation is to summarise and assess the Jordanian Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) from 2012 to 2015 in its efforts to reduce decent job deficits. This analysis considers the before-and-after approach in which the pre-policy period acts as a control that measures the post-exacting (DWCP). Pre- and post-policy periods were compared. Trend and correlational analysis, r and r², ordinary least squares regression, and the T-test were utilised. This evaluation indicates that between 2012 and 2015, the DWCP was ineffective in maximising Jordanians female contribution to the workforce and in increasing membership of the Social Security Corporation due to deficiencies in decent work. A longitudinal study is strongly needed or very much needed to track the progress of Jordanian women's involvement in the labour market over time, and growth in the number of participants of the social security in Jordan.
