Abstract

Women's participation in the labor market is essential for accelerating economic development and achieving gender equality. This study investigates the socio-economic and demographic factors influencing women's access to employment in Tunisia, using data from the 2023 Employment and Population Survey. A logistic regression analysis illustrates that variables such as age, marital status, education level, diploma, and place of residence significantly affect women's employment opportunities. The results reveal disparities across regions and sectors, with urban residence and higher education improving access to qualified positions. However, structural barriers persist, particularly for older and less experienced women.
