Women in the Middle East and North Africachange and continuity /[electronic resource] :Elhum Haghighat-Sordellini. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2010. - 1 online resource (xii, 216 p.) :map.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [179]-204) and index.

Introduction -- The path of social and economic change according to the modernization theory -- Patriarchy, modernization, and the global economy -- Women's status : the question of access to resources and women's empowerment -- Women's status and fertility pattern -- Education and status of women -- Work : definition and patterns -- Labor migration, oil revenue, and their impact on women's employment -- Conclusion.

This book explores the complexity of women's social status in the Middle East and North African region and fills a gap in the existing literature by providing an up-to-date and comprehensive portrait of women's status from a theoretical and socio-demographic perspective. The author debunks some common assumptions regarding the economic, cultural and demographic transformations of the MENA region. The book highlights the social forces that have transformed the region over the past several decades. Debunking requires exploring the inter-relationship of multiple factors that influence women's integration into public life, factors such as fertility, education, employment and labor migration. It necessitates examining the impact of sudden oil wealth in the region as well as looking at the complex ways in which patriarchal systems are intertwined and often embedded in religion and then enforced by governments.
