According to a new study on women’s economic participation undertaken by the Finance Institute which is affiliated to the Ministry of Finance, 45% of total adult women do not earn any income.  Additional indicators released by the Central Statistics Administration also pointed out to women’s limited economic participation in Lebanon which, according to that source, does not exceed 23%.  However, the same study indicated that 73% of women work for a monthly salary compared to 44% of men which seems to indicate that women more then men tend to seek employment which secure regular monthly income.
