2-5: Since the beginning of the second Intifada in late 2000, unemployment has fluctuated in all governorates, however, it has remained higher than before the Intifada The increase in unemployment rate in the oPt is mainly stimulated by the external and internal closure regime Israel has imposed on the oPt Table Year Unemployment in the Gaza Strip (ILO definition) Internal closures in the West Bank have caused an economic decline, contributing to an increase in unemployment rates The closures have forced transportation costs to go up and limited the access of workers to better jobs within the West Bank This has particularly affected marginalised and remote areas where unemployment is high In addition to closures, both Palestinian-Israeli violence and internal violence have created an environment discouraging investment and limiting the capacity of the local labour market to create jobs Gaza North Khan Yunis Middle Area Rafah 1999 13.3% 14.8% 19.4% 22.6% 19.2% 2000 17.5% 16.3%

whilst the number of self-employed and unpaid family members is increasing.This trend seems to be characterised by an increase in more traditional, family-based, low-skilled and less capital-intensive activities, such as agriculture and commerce However, this comes at the expense of higher capital-intensive activities such as industrial work Back to Table of Contents OFFICE FOR THE COORDINATION OF

patterns of a Palestinian average household of six individuals The first line is the “absolute (deep) poverty line” that reflects a budget for food, clothing and housing The second line is the “relative poverty line” that adds other necessities such as health care, education, transportation, personal care (i.e cosmetics, hairdresser and other hygiene personal items) and housekeeping supplies (i.e hygiene domestic items and cooking utensils) In 2006, the relative poverty line and the absolute poverty line for the average household in the oPt stood at a monthly income of less than
