This event will be a discussion with Professor Naila Kabeer and Professor Ragui Assaad based around their co-authored report “Women's Access to Market Opportunities in South Asia and the Middle East and North Africa: Barriers, Opportunities and Policy Challenges". Despite this paper being written in 2019, the situation of women's access to employment in MENA and South Asia remains a challenge. Kabeer and Assaad will reflect on their findings and discuss the puzzles and paradoxes of women's employment in these regions, which have the lowest rates of women's labour force participation in the world. The conversation will also explore how to unlock the potential of women in these communities.
