Women, work and Weil‐being in the Middle East: An outline of the relevant literature
梳理了关于女性在经济发展中作用的经济学文献，并讨论其对中东地区职业女性政策的意义，指出当前知识不足以制定或评估有效政策。
There is now an extensive literature on the role of women in economic development and the impact of development on their lives. This article concentrates on the economic literature and discusses its importance for policies aimed at working women in the Middle East. It identifies the important strands and places the discussion within the wider context of women in the labour market in both developing and developed countries. The general conclusion is that we are very far from having sufficient knowledge to implement effective policy or even to evaluate existing policies.
