dc.description.abstractThe study focused on two related themes: whether labour legislation (2000) has resulted in a rise in labour costs for employers, and whether it provided employers with enough flexibility in hiring and firing workers. The rise in employers' costs coincided with the start of the Intifada, thus the productive capacity of the Palestinian economy was severely damaged, which led to many businesses going bankrupt and others struggling to remain in the market. Higher labour costs then compounded the problems faced by employers. The study found that the Palestinian labour law still provides employers with a large degree of leeway in comparison to neighbouring countries.en
