Background<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Palestinian refugees registered in Lebanon have limited social and economic rights. Through a recent legislative change in August 2010, Palestinians can now obtain a work permit in order to access employment opportunities. Despite this positive move it will take a lot of effort to break the cycle of poverty, unemployment and insecurity among the Palestinian refugee population. Therefore, one of the main challenges in bringing a necessary policy change in the Palestinian access to social and economic rights in Lebanon is the lack of reliable and objective data on the issue.<\/p><\/div>\n
