- jcranmer 10y agoYou're being a bit broad with your brush strokes there. The United Arab Emirates (of which Dubai is one) has a female labor force participation rate of ~46%. While that is low compared to the ~50-60% you'd see in most OECD countries, it's not that far off places like Poland (48%) and better than, say, Mexico (45%). It's definitely not Iran (15%) or Saudi Arabia (20%).
- muninn_ 10y agoThat statistic is simply meaningless in this context. Just today some girl got arrested with her boyfriend for sex before marriage. Does that happen in Mexico or Poland?
