The author argues that the primary reason for the low rate of female labor force participation are the strong institutions of patriarchy in the region and, using multiple proxies for patriarchy, quantifies the multi-dimensional concept of patriarchy in order to measure it across sixty developing countries over thirty years. The findings show that Middle Eastern and North African countries have higher levels of patriarchy with regards to women?s participation in public spheres compared with the rest of the world. Although the rate of formal female labor force participation is low, women across the region contribute greatly to the financial well-being of their families and communities. By defining a woman?s place as in the home and causing many women to work in the informal sector of the economy or work as unpaid workers, patriarchy has made women?s economic activities invisible to official labor statistics and simply created the illusion that women in the region are not economically active. 650 0 $a Women $x Employment $z Middle East. 650 0 $a Women $x Employment $z Africa, North. 650 0 $a Patriarchy $z Middle East. 650 0 $a Patriarchy $z Africa, North. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a Africa, North $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Economic conditions. 651 0 $a Africa, North $x Economic conditions. 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Patriarchy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055082 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Women $x Employment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176715 651 7 $a Africa, North. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239515 651 7 $a Middle East. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01241586 650 7 $a Frau $2 gnd 650 7 $a BerufstaÂtigkeit $2 gnd 650 7 $a Patriarchat $2 gnd 651 7 $a MENA-Region $2 gnd 830 0 $a Palgrave pivot. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013429.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802030942.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E91EDC0621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
