The Real Arab Spring Is About Women and Economic Development by Dr. Nasser H. Saidi In the Arab world, women have the lowest rates of female labour force participation globally: 26 percent compared to a global average of 52 percent. They face insuperable barriers, discrimination, legal and regulatory hurdles, lack of economic opportunities, poor working conditions, and the absence of the institutional, societal support needed to leverage them into economic and public life.
