    Causes and Effects for Feminization Segregation
    (open science, 12/19/2018) Salman, Doaa; Amr Hosny, Nadeen
    Development of any nation requires specific aspects to be fulfilled. One of these aspects is Gender Equality. Gender equality is having an equal treatment between men and women in all aspects whether economic, political or social aspects. Recently, the concept of Gender Equality began to be accepted globally. Although many countries successfully achieved gender equality, yet still many countries are lagging behind and suffer from feminization segregation. Feminization segregation is mainly concentrated in the Middle Eastern countries. So, the purpose of this paper is to tackle the phenomena of feminization segregation in three Middle Eastern countries which are: Egypt, Jordan and Turkey. Also, the objective of this paper is to examine whether these three countries tried to solve feminization segregation by adopting different policies or not. Accordingly, this paper focused on examining specific indicators to study to what extent the problem still exists. These indicators included: Female Labor Force (%), the global gender gap index and the gender inequality index. Our analysis proved that there were policies adopted in these three countries that succeeded in improving the amount of segregation. But, such measures were not enough to solve the whole problem. Finally, feminization segregation is a serious phenomenon that does not only need some policies to be adopted but also needs the mentalities of the people to change. Also, it needs the awareness of the people to increase to be aware of the serious consequences of feminization segregation.
