TitleThe Role of Freelancing in Job Creation in Gaza Strip
Title in Arabicدور العمل الحر عبر الانترنت في خلق فرص عمل في قطاع غزة
Abstract

This study aims to investigate the role of freelancing in job creation in Gaza strip. The study examined the freelancer through dividing it into its sub-parts which are: technology, skills, contacts, awareness of job availability and skills mismatch. To meet the aim of the study, the statistical approach was followed. A questionnaire was distributed online as the data collection tool. The study population was 260 persons who received extensive trainings to work as freelancers by MercyCorps Association in Gaza; 199 questionnaires were collected out of 260 distributed. The study findings showed that the independent variables: technology, skills, contacts, awareness of job availability and skills mismatch are important factors that every freelancer should have before and during working as freelancer. These variables contribute to the success of freelancers in getting jobs and performing these jobs. It also indicated that freelancing is still new in Gaza Strip as most of the respondents has been freelancing from 3-5 years. The study results also showed the high important role that technology plays in promoting and making the work of freelancers easier. The study recommended creating free access to learning resources for those involved in freelancing and for freelancers-to-be people to help in increasing the awareness of freelancing skills and tools. It also recommended connecting the freelancing with the high education institutes to help students better engage in freelancing work upon their graduation. The study assures about the role of the policy makers in promoting and facilitating the work of freelancers through campaigns, providing free work places and providing verified payment methods for freelancers
