Labor Market Institutions, Employment and Gender in MENA Countries

The project contributes to better measurement of the effects of various factors on labor market outcomes in MENA and how this effect varies across individuals depending on their gender, age and education. It also seeks to uncover to what extent the differences between MENA countries and other regions are due to the effect of various factors in the region, as opposed to differences in the level of those factors.
