Gender and Development in the Arab World

Women's Economic Participation - Patterns and Policies

Gender and Development in the Arab World highlights and analyses a variety of factors which limit the scope of women's employment - including educational opportunities and attainments, prevalent social norms and discriminatory practices. It also explores the policy implications of improving Arab women's lot, especially in the world of work and analyses the political economy of female employment while also investigating the real issue of women as mobilisers of human resources in the Arab world. The case studies included in this book cover a cross-section of different profiles of socio-economic development and cultural values. A statistical review of human development indicators for the Arab world.
