Gender and Development in the Arab World: Women's Economic Participation: Patterns and Policies

There are few studies of women and economic development in Arab countries - this book aims to fill the gap. It analyses the structural features which may explain Arab women's varying labour-force participation rates, and seeks to dispel widespread, but grossly over-simplified, stereotypes vis-agrave;-vis their economic position. The authors want to improve the statistical information available by including disaggregation by gender - essential for the measurement of Arab women's economic contribution and for the formulation of appropriate policies to integrate women in national development.Khoury, Nabil F. is the author of 'Gender and Development in the Arab World: Women's Economic Participation: Patterns and Policies', published 1995 under ISBN 9781856493666 and ISBN 1856493660.
