The text argues that women’s employment rates are often tied to economic development. Why?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Varies. Developed Global North countries have more women employed in the formal sector
while Global South countries have a larger number of women working in the informal sector. In the
Global South, women’s work is often not counted as they work as own-account or contributing family
workers. In the Global South, especially, women’s work is considered vulnerable employment. As
societies advance, more formal jobs become available and educational opportunities for women
increase.
