The employment rates of Arab immigrant women rank among the lowest of any immigrant group, while the rates of native-born Arab-American women resemble those of U.S.-born white women. These differences cannot be explained by Arab-American women's human capital characteristics or family resources, but are due to traditional cultural norms that prioritize women's family obligations over their economic activity and to ethnic and religious social networks that encourage the maintenance of traditional gender roles. Read's findings challenge assumptions about variations in ethnic women's labor force participation. Arab cultural values play an important role in determining the position of women of Arab descent in American society |

The employment rates of Arab immigrant women rank among the lowest of any immigrant group, while the rates of native-born Arab-American women resemble those of U.S.-born white women. These differences cannot be explained by Arab-American women's human capital characteristics or family resources, but are due to traditional cultural norms that prioritize women's family obligations over their economic activity and to ethnic and religious social networks that encourage the maintenance of traditional gender roles. Read's findings challenge assumptions about variations in ethnic women's labor force participation. Arab cultural values play an important role in determining the position of women of Arab descent in American society Américaines d'origine arabe / Conditions sociales Américaines d'origine arabe / Travail Immigrantes / États-Unis / Conditions sociales Immigrantes / Travail / États-Unis Marché du travail / États-Unis Rôle selon le sexe / États-Unis Américains d'origine arabe / Identité ethnique Américains d'origine arabe / Acculturation BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Labor bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Labor & Industrial Relations bisacsh Araberin swd Klassenbewusstsein swd Kulturbeziehungen swd Wirtschaft Arab American women Social conditions Arab American women Employment Women immigrants United States Social conditions Women foreign workers United States Labor supply United States Sex role United States Arab Americans Ethnic identity Arab Americans Cultural assimilation Araberin (DE-588)4443970-2 gnd rswk-swf Klassenbewusstsein (DE-588)4164015-9 gnd rswk-swf Kulturbeziehungen (DE-588)4033552-5 gnd rswk-swf USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Araberin (DE-588)4443970-2 s Klassenbewusstsein (DE-588)4164015-9 s Kulturbeziehungen (DE-588)4033552-5 s 1\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=126065 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
