Purpose: This study's main objective is to identify and analyze the main determinants of youth unemployment in Jordan. Design/Approach/Methodology: The study employs a Multinomial logistic regression model (MLM) to analyze the determinants of youth unemployment in Jordan using data based on the Jordan labor market panel survey (JLMPS) in 2016, which was conducted by the Department of Statistics (DOS). Findings: The study finds that youth employment in Jordan is influenced by gender, educational level, geographical location, and marital status. According to the youths covered by this study, male youth stand a better chance of being employed than the female counterpart. Therefore, special attention must be paid to integrating the youth and particularly females better into the labor market for increasing the prospect of their employment. Practical Implication: The results can be used to mitigate the problems of youth unemployment, especially female youth unemployment, in Jordan and other Arab countries. Policymakers must focus on certain constraints, such as mobility and cultural factors, as roadblocks that may cause relatively higher youth female unemployment. Originality/Value: This is one of the latest attempts to identify, investigate, and analyze the causes of youth unemployment in Jordan. The study adds to scholarly debate on youth unemployment's main determinants by giving evidence from a developing country. However, this study unveils a unique feature of youth unemployment in Jordan; this study will bridge the literature gap, especially for Jordan, and help improve overall youth unemployment

This research aims to analyze the reality of women's economic and social status in Ma'an Governorate, in the field of social characteristics, the study showed that the most important challenges facing women in the governorate of Ma'an lies in the high illiteracy rates, which reflected negatively on their participation in the labor force, and thus lower their standard of living. On the positive side, women have been able to bridgethe gap in terms of higher education, women in Ma'an have made enrollment in bachelor's degree higher than the national level. With regard to economic reality, the study showed that the most important obstacles that stand in front of women lies in the high rates of unemployment, as the study showed that the unemployment rate among females in Ma'an Governorate is higher than the national level, under the current conditions of the Governorate and the absence of economic and development projects, and increase of women enrollment at higher education, the rates of female unemployment in the governorate of Ma'an expected to rise. The study recommended the need to adopt a strategy at the Governorate level to deal with the social and economic challenges and constraints facing women in the Governorate of Ma'an and in particular in reducing the problems of illiteracy and unemployment.

This study aims to investigate the impact of liquidity and profitability on the stock market value of Jordanian insurance companies by investigating a sample of five insurance companies during the period (2015-19). Data were collected from the annual reports, while the study adopted Current trading ratios, net operating capital (NOC), profitability ratios (PR), which are return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and operating profit margins (OPM). The study concluded that there was no impact of the current trading ratio (CTR), NOC, ROA, and OPM on the market value of the stock, while there was an impact of the ROE on the market value of the stock in Jordanian insurance companies.

The main objective of this study is to explore the impact of the Audit Committee's characteristics on the level of voluntary disclosure. Regression analysis was applied to verify the hypotheses, where this study used secondary data of 25 banks in the banking sector listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE), for the period 2015 until 2017. The study found that there was an impact of the number of meetings of the Audit Committee on the level of voluntary disclosure, but there were no impacts, for both the size and independence of the Audit Committee, on the level of voluntary disclosure.

Technical analysis of the stock market is a procedure to forecast the future evolution of stock prices, taking into account the past and including a multitude of highly Varied techniques, therefore the MAC, and RSI, which is of the group of technical tools and used widely as a best technical indicators, in this paper we are taking account of trading volume and the prices, we applied the closer forms of the indicators. The specialized investigation tools or indicators such as MACD, EMA, RSI which are valuable to achieve with preceding development of computerized procedures, which can be utilized of Neural Network, and supper vector machine and other methods, enhanced we can use the algorithm approach to have precise results.

The RM process has a vital role to play in MC. In a changing world, the only constant is Change. The today’s world is facing increased global competition, technological innovation, deregulation, privatisation and Cs in much more besides. Consequently, leaders and mangers face complex and challenging threats and opportunities. They are required to manage C and the associated Rs effectively. As Rs are the possibility of present circumstances being changed in a way that produced consequences for the organization, R can then be considered a function of C, and RM may be described as “a technique for coping with the effect of C”. But how R and C are inseparable? How C can be assessed, identified and implemented? And how RM can be a means of MC? By utilising the principles of RM approaches; the desired outcomes of both R and C can be achieved and whether RM is a means of MC or not, can be also demonstrated.
