12 REACH Household Assessment Done by REACH, through UNHCR/UNICEF funding, during the beginning of 2013 Focusing on Northern Governorates Door-to-door survey: snowball methodology

13 % of HH with at least one family member in employment Livelihoods 100% Household member in employment 50% 0% Males over 18 Females over 18 Male under 18 Females under 18 Only a small proportion of households, 10%, reported having at least one family member in employment. However, an additional 5% declined to answer the question. 85% of households with at least one member reported males over 18 working Higher proportion of males under 18 reported to be working than females over 18, 6% compared to 5% of the total respectively. Working Syrians reportedly charge considerably lower wages thus creating tensions over jobs and job creation.

When asked to consider primary needs, the overwhelming majority of households reported either cash or specifically cash for rent. REACH assessment teams noted growing tensions between young males wishing to get married and Syrian households renting accommodation. Lack of housing stock in Mafraq City temporarily displaced a number of Jordanian families into IDP settlements.
