Facing Barriers: Palestinian Women in a Jewish-Dominated Labor Market Kraus Vered
Palestinian women have slowly become active in the formal labor market in Israel. Challenging popular views that ascribe these differences to Arab culture and Islam, they instead find that it is state policies and widespread discrimination that hinder Palestinian women's participation and success. In this book, Vered Kraus and Yuval Yonay describe and analyse the labor experience of these Palestinian women, and explain why Palestinian and Jewish women have different rates and outcomes in the labor market.
The book thus enriches the acute discussion on the labour market experiences of Muslim and Arab women in the Middle East and North By including the various Palestinian sub-groups - Muslims, Bedouins, Druze, Christians, non-citizen residents of Jerusalem - this book shows how the specific life circumstances of the women from these subgroups affect their employment and achievements.
