The Women Economic Empowerment report
outlines the factors contributing to the persistently low
economic participation of Egyptian women and to identify
"gender smart" policies and solutions to boost
economic growth while at the same time, narrowing relevant
gender gaps. The study provides the context of women's
share of the public space as reflected in their access to
education, health, social protection, and decent work
opportunities. It provides qualitative insights into
women's perceptions regarding working conditions and
challenges, including the reconciliation between work and
marriage, and the relation between household
responsibilities, earnings, and the dynamics of decision
making in the household. It also discusses the various
gender conscious and unconscious biases affecting
women's work in the private sector while providing
recommendations to promote gender diversity in the
workplace, and boosting the inclusion of women, particularly
in leadership positions. Lastly, it identifies the top 12
industries where women's work is concentrated and/or
promising by providing an analysis of the characteristics of
the female labor force in these industries. |
