Gender
In the region of the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), the rate of women’s economic participation is lower than in any other region of the world, which has aroused genuine and deep concern. Why have improvements in women’s attainment of education not led to improvements in their economic participation?
The main thrust of the study is to investigate structural barriers that interact at three levels and impede the transformation of women’s educational gains into successful prospects for participation in the labour force. The barriers are the following: (1) Policy framework, (2) Socialization, and (3) Regulatory and organizational measures.
