More about the book
The book explores the persistent gender inequality in the Middle East and North Africa, highlighting that despite advancements in women's education and health, cultural and political barriers keep female labor force participation at a mere one-third. It argues that future economic growth must leverage human resources, particularly the untapped potential of women. By addressing gender as an economic issue rather than a peripheral concern, it proposes a comprehensive agenda for change, supported by data and a statistical appendix on a CD-ROM.
