- Summary:
- Gender inequality--"the differential access to opportunity and security for women and girls--"has become an important and visible issue for the economies of the Middle East and North Africa. It analyzes the potential of women's greater economic contribution to the region's new development model, identifies key economic and sociopolitical impediments to women's increased labor force participation and empowerment, and suggests a way forward in developing an agenda for change.
