Abstract:

the results of this research point to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the most significant factor in the prediction of unemployment in Palestine. Hence, policies that attempt to enhance GDP development might be useful in lowering the amount of unemployment in the nation. The research also reveals that time is not a reliable predictor of unemployment in Palestine. It also suggests that there is a seasonal pattern in unemployment, with the first quarter of the year having the highest unemployment rate. Consequently, measures that attempt to ameliorate the seasonal swings in employment in Palestine in order to reduce unemployment in the nation may be beneficial in doing so, provided that they are implemented effectively. It is quite probable that the future of unemployment in Palestine will rely on a variety of circumstances, including political stability, economic development, and the execution of policies that are successful in addressing the problem. The political climate in Palestine is still unstable, and there are constant confrontations and tensions with Israel. This has the potential to have a big influence on the economy and job possibilities in the country. As a result, every step forward in the direction of resolving these issues might potentially have a favorable influence on the situation of unemployment in Palestine. The rate of unemployment in Palestine may be significantly impacted by a number of fundamental factors, including economic development. It is possible to help increase work opportunities and decrease unemployment by continuing efforts to enhance GDP growth via investments in infrastructure, education, and job development initiatives. In addition, the implementation of effective policies aimed at addressing the underlying causes of unemployment in Palestine, such as improving education and skills training, promoting entrepreneurship and innovation, and increasing access to financing for small and medium-sized enterprises, can also contribute to the reduction of unemployment in the country. These policies can help reduce unemployment in the country. Overall, while it is difficult to predict the future of unemployment in Palestine, it is clear that addressing the underlying factors contributing to unemployment, such as political instability, a lack of economic growth, and limited access to education and skills training, will be critical in reducing unemployment and promoting economic development in the country. This is the case despite the fact that it is difficult to predict the future of unemployment in Palestine
