Analytical study of women’s participation in economic activities in Arab societies
Abstract
Outlines important changes in the role of women in Arab societies, particularly in urban areas. Considers what factors impede or contribute to women’s work in all economic sectors in an attempt to explain and determine the relationship between their activities and social, educational, economic, cultural and health factors. Suggests that findings are related to family size, fertility rates, illiteracy and population per nurse. Recommends increasing job opportunuties and more labour saving technology as ways to increase opportunity for Arab women.
