20-12-2017
Lebanon came in the first place in the Middle East in terms of women integration in the workplace, according to the “Working women in the MENA region’ survey by Bayt.com, the leading Middle East job site, and the YouGov, the global online market research company. Data for the survey was collected online from October 26 to November 26, 2017 covering some 4053 female respondents in each of Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia and the UAE. Nearly 88% of the respondents in Lebanon reported having a mixed working environment between men and women, bringing the country to the lead in this field. A large majority of women in Lebanon (82%) said they were contented to work in a mixed setting, with two thirds (nearly 66%) saying they were extremely comfortable, 15% said they were neutral and only 2% claimed the environment was uncomfortable for them. This placed Lebanon first, regionally, in terms of female integration at work. And while three quarters (74%) of women respondents working in a mixed-gender environment said they had a male manager, 73% reported they have no gender-based references for the manager. On the number of working hours, nearly two thirds (64%) of respondents in Lebanon pointed out that they worked almost an equal number of hours as their men colleagues, 9% indicated that they worked less hours, 18% said they worked more hours and 10% had no answer.
