gulfnews : Equal opportunities still a distant goal in GCC job market

Women have come a long way in making a mark in society, but a closer look at the workplace indicates that they still deal with inequality.
For a long time, women had very limited access to jobs due to religious, cultural and educational traditions. As times have changed, more and more women have moved beyond their domestic roles attempting to make their own living. In the GCC alone, the number of women joining the workforce has increased significantly over the years, bringing the total female labour force to 3.3 million in 2010, up 83 per cent from 1.8 million almost a decade ago.
