通过法律改革赋予妇女权力——来自沙特阿拉伯的证据

目的

本文旨在回顾文献，主要有两个原因。首先，概述“2030 年愿景”宣言中赋予女性权力的主张以及这些实施如何促进女性在经济的不同方面取得成功。其次，审查当前根据 2019 年 8 月发布的沙特法律为赋予妇女权力而进行的改革，当时部长理事会对民法和劳动法进行了多项修订，以增加妇女的权利和对旅行、就业和金融的话语关注。

设计/方法/方法

这项调查是在对二手文献的分析中发现的，包括与当前影响妇女的经济变化和改善有关的记录和信息。

发现

尽管沙特阿拉伯存在各种限制，但许多沙特女性正在加入劳动力大军。如今，沙特女性正在选择以前从未探索过的新职业。研究表明，不同组织框架中的沙特女性与更高级别的男性同样胜任，即使不是略高一些（Al-Shamrani，2015 年）。在此背景下，在世界银行的《2020 年妇女、商业和法律》报告中，沙特阿拉伯被标记为自 2017 年以来在性别平等方面取得最大进展的经济体之一；报告将这一进步归因于上述改革增加了妇女的行动自由和经济机会。

原创性/价值

本文回顾了政府在沙特阿拉伯背景下为渴望实现“2030 年愿景”的女性赋权的措施所取得的成功。
