Investigating the Role of Women in the Economic Development of Muslim Countries with Emphasis on Employment
Islam, with the explanation of the true place of woman, has considered many financial and economic rights for women; like inheritance, Mehria, alimony, income caused by work…., but women’s employment, especially in Muslim countries, is one of the extremely challenging issues. Nowadays, despite all the advances at the global level, in many countries, especially Islamic countries, the share of women in economic activities and employment is low. The main hypothesis of this research is that religious beliefs in Islam do not play any role in the low employment rate of women in these countries. This research brings up the question: what is the role of women’s employment in the economic development of Muslim countries? This research is a combination of library research and field research. The research hypotheses are examined through the Chi-Square test. The result of this study shows that Islam is not an obstacle to women’s employment. In library research, different indices like women’s employment rates in agriculture, industry, and service have been compared between Muslim and non-Muslim countries. The achieved result does not show any differences from the result of field research
