Enhancing women’s economic empowerment in the Middle East and North Africa: analysis of recent legal reforms in selected countries
Abstract
This document is a concept note on the forthcoming OECD flagship publication on recent legal reforms in support of women’s economic empowerment in the Middle East and North Africa.
Given the great and unexploited potential that women represent, their economic empowerment needs to be supported and enhanced in order to boost growth and competitiveness in the region. Women’s economic empowerment and their active participation in public life is critical for the future of the MENA region. This note provides a background on women’s economic empowerment in the MENA region, and details the rationale and main objectives of this publication as well as the research methodology. This forthcoming publication is developed by the OECD, in partnership with CAWTAR and possibly other regional and international organisations.
