Replication Data for: Chapter 5 - Different shades of foreigner: A closer examination of Syrian and Palestinian refugees in the Jordanian labour market

To understand how nationality and camp affect labour market engagement for different groups of refugees, this study employs a Heckman two-stage sample selection model using the 2016 Jordan National Child Labour Survey. Thus, the study not only compares families with similar demographic characteristics – namely, families with at least 1 child between 5 and 17 years old -; it is moreover, set prior to the agreement on the Jordan Compact in 2016 which has led to an increased focus on formalising work of Syrians and easing their access to formal work in specific sectors.

This contains the annotated do-files (the Masterfile provide insight in the sequencing), a read me file with background information on the dataset , the household survey, and an overview of the variables in the dataset.
