Our programmatic initiatives

Advancing socio-economic rights

While Lebanon’s labor market has failed to provide opportunities to the country’s high-skilled job seekers, the financial crisis and the pandemic have caused an unprecedented increase in vulnerabilities and new waves of economic migration. Through this initiative, TPI seeks to protect and develop the country’s human capital by enabling adequate and gender-sensitive social protection and labor rights policies, as well as by encouraging investments in people through accessible education and healthcare. In addition, TPI seeks to study the impact of the crisis on migrant and refugee workers and their increased vulnerabilities linked to their lack of labor rights. We also aim to examine the new trends in labor transformation, with the rise of the “gig economy” which make work temporary, unstable, and low paying, while disproportionately affecting the youth.
