This paper utilizes a log-linear model to analyze data of “The Multipurpose Household Survey; Jordanians Abroad 1975”. The findings indicate that the Jordanian emigrants are mainly young males (15–34 years of age) from the Amman District, most of whom have obtained the secondary school certificate. Only 41 percent of the emigrants left Jordan to work abroad. And only one person out of each 5.6 households left Jordan to live abroad.
