Abstract This text is a product of the World Bank, with major contributions by staff from the agency's Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region and from the agency's Consultative Council for Gender. While ge...der equality issues in the 19 countries of MENA are generally approached from a social, anthropological, or political angle, this report focuses on the economic aspects. It analyzes the potential for women's greater economic contribution, identifies key economic and sociopolitical impediments to women's increased work force participation and empowerment, and suggests an agenda for change. The accompanying CD-ROM contains household surveys and a statistical appendix. For policymakers and proponents of gender equality.
