飞地模式和文化模式经常被社会学家用来解释少数群体妇女参与西方劳动力市场的模式。一般而言，文化模式解释了限制妇女就业的机制，而飞地模式则解释了促进妇女参与劳动力市场的机制。利用1995年以色列人口普查的数据，并假设这些理论模型，本文旨在研究三个群体的妇女在以色列的劳动力市场参与模式：穆斯林阿拉伯人，基督教阿拉伯人和德鲁兹阿拉伯人。结果表明，阿拉伯妇女参与以色列劳动力市场主要取决于其族裔和宗教归属、教育（特别是中学后教育和学术教育）、婚姻状况和年龄。相比之下，发现族裔飞地产生了不同的影响：它对穆斯林妇女参与劳动力市场的影响是积极的，而对基督教妇女则产生了消极的影响。还讨论了劳动力市场机会对女性劳动力参与的影响。
The enclave model and the cultural model have often been used by sociologists to explain the patterns of participation of minority women in western labour markets. While the cultural models explain, in general, the mechanisms that restrict women's employment, the enclave models, by contrast, explain the mechanisms that facilitate women's labour market participation. Using data from the 1995 Israeli population census and assuming these theoretical models, this paper aims to examine the labour market participation pattern of three groups of women in Israel: the Muslim-Arabs, the Christian-Arabs and the Druze-Arabs. The results indicate that the participation of Arab women in the Israeli labour market is determined primarily by their ethnic and religious affiliation, education (particularly post-secondary and academic education), marital status and age. By contrast, the ethnic enclave was found to exert a differential influence: its influence on the labour market participation of Muslim women was positive, while for Christian women it exerted a negative influence. The effects of labour market opportunities on female labour force participation are also discussed.
