Asali Nuseibeh, R (2019) 'Palestinian women teachers in East Jerusalem: layers of discrimination in the labor market.' Middle East Journal, 73 (2). pp. 207-223.
Abstract
This article focuses on the multiple layers of structural discrimination that Palestinian women face in finding employment in occupied East Jerusalem. Faced with limited opportunities in a stagnant economy, isolated from the rest of the Palestinian periphery, and not fully integrated into Israeli society, they are often more educated than their male peers, but family considerations and gender norms shape their educational and professional decision-making pro- cesses, trapping them in “feminized” professions such as teaching. As a result, Palestinian women in East Jerusalem have some of the lowest levels of labor participation, regionally and globally.
