أثر تمكين المرأة في نسبة مشاركتها في القوى العاملة : دراسة تطبيقية على عينة من الدول العربية

الملخص EN

This paper aims at investigating the impact of women empowerment on the participation of women in the labor force in Arab countries.

The study sample covers Arab countries that are included in the Global Gender Gap Reports during the years 2006-2015.

The study reveals that women empowerment has a signifcant positive impact on women’s participation in the labor force for the whole sample.

According to income groups, it is found that, for high-income countries, there is a positive signifcant impact of women empowerment on women’s participation in the labor force.

However, the results do not support any signifcant impact of women empowerment on women’s participation in the labor force in the upper and lower middle income countries.
