Lower-class women must work in the informal sector to survive. It is a sign of status not to have to work outside the home unless the job is within a prestigious profession (p. 57). In Chapter 4, Solati offers an index of patriarchy. She defines higher levels of patriarchy where women are invisible in the public sphere. They can participate officially in the labour market if they come from the upper classes (although this is a very low proportion), while other women of lower status are ‘hidden’ behind a male family member. These women do work, but only men have an official employment record and receive the salary for women’s work. The book conveys a very important message: more nuanced and detailed analysis is needed to discover the causes and consequences of low FLFP in the MENA region. The author argues convincingly that Islam and oil dependence cannot be entirely blamed. Although the statistical method of principal component analysis is undertaken professionally and convincingly, a more nuanced and detailed picture of the actual practice of patriarchy is missing because the author built only one index to rank countries. The book contributes to scholarship in this area, and is useful for policymakers, women who fight for equality, and researchers interested in gender relations in the region.
