Report: Palestinian female labor participation among world’s lowest
The low rates come despite high education rates among Palestinian women, Al-Shabaka policy adviser Samia al-Botmeh notes in her report, adding that Palestinian women have higher primary and secondary enrollment levels than males in the entire Middle East and North Africa.
The low rates of participation in the labor force by Palestinian women are also accompanied by increased gender segregation in the field, al-Botmeh argues.
