(funded by the European Union) has implemented a labour force survey among Palestinian refugees in the camps and specific gatherings end of 2011. The field work and processing of data was undertaken by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics with technical support from FAFO Institute for Applied Research (Norway). The aim of the survey is to provide reliable and up-to-date data on Palestinian employment in the country in order to empower advocacy efforts and to support evidence-based policy making for improved employment conditions for Palestinian refugees. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-top:8px;font-size:8pt;font-family:Verdana, san-serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">Within this framework, three roundtable meetings to discuss the preliminary findings of the survey will be organized.
