The United Kingdom Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office in Jordan requested a rapid literature review encompassing the following research questions:

2. What are the costs of inaction?

3. What lessons learned and best practices could Jordan and the international community at large draw from the role tertiary education plays in improving social and economic outcomes for refugee youth?
