UNESCO study: 40% of female graduates are ready to work || Articles || Newspapers (Arabic)

A field research study conducted by the UNESCO on the job opportunities for women and women’s participation in the market after graduation showed that university graduates still prefer to major in social studies and humanities. The families of female students still have influence in determining their choices in the selection of their major. The study noted that female graduates need professional guidance and training. The study further stressed on the importance of dealing with the socio-cultural restraints that hinder the work of the female graduates, and on the cooperation of the authorities in order to develop a system that helps creating job opportunities for the female graduates.
