Attitudes Towards Women Working Outside, by Gender, Age and Income
• Women across income and age groups are less opposed to women working outside
• Non-acceptance of women’s outside work is high across income groups in all cities – with high-income groups slightly less
• Most surprising, younger men are more conservative toward women’s work outside than older generations
• Cairo is more conservative because of the relative magnitude of “under no circumstances”

• Higher education is important in changing women’s attitude toward working outside.
• But, up to secondary level, education for men changes little in attitudes toward women’s work outside.
• Cairo remains the most conservative among the three cities – while in Amman and Sana’a, men with secondary education are less conservative.
