  • Parvin Alizadeh, FEMALE LABOUR-FORCE PARTICIPATION
    Th e ‘Aft erlife’ of Cheap Labour: Bangalore Garment Female Employment & FEDI Dynamics of Inequality Research Network Workers from Factories to the Informal Economy FEDI Female Employment & Dynamics of Inequality Research Network FEMALE LABOUR-FORCE PARTICIPATION IN IRAN Author(s): Parvin Alizadeh Country Briefing Paper No: 06.17.4 1 FEMALE LABOUR-FORCE PARTICIPATION IN IRAN: A Review of the Literature Parvin Alizadeh Prepared for the Project Dynamics of Gender Inequality in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia (ESRC Global Challenges Research Fund) London Conference, 9-10 June 2017 Broadly speaking studies concerned with the low rate of female labour-force participation (FLFP) in Iran can be divided into three types, those concerned with (1) culture, state policy and discrimination by labour market institutions; (2) factors affecting the potential supply of FLFP, including the impact of education, fertility, marriage and family structure on FLFP; and (3) high wages arising from the presence of relatively abundant natural resources, ranging from ample reserves of oil and gas to a favourable land-labour ratio. High wages in turn act as an enabling factor to make the absence of women from paid employment affordable for the maintenance of the household based on one male breadwinner. 1. Impact of Culture and Policies The impact of state policies on women’s empowerment and employment in Iran, following the Islamic revolution of 1979, has been noted in several studies (Afshar 1985; V. Moghadam 1989, 1991, 2000; F. Moghadam 1994; Alizadeh and Harper 1995; Alizadeh 2000). As V. Moghadam (2000: 235) noted, “The prolific literature on Iranian women that appeared during the 1980s described an exceedingly disadvantaged position for women in the years following the Islamic Revolution.

The advantage proved short-lived, however, Giuseppe Rossi converting a penalty won by Robert Pirès within eight minutes to leave the tie finely poised, although Panathinaikos must do without their captain Giannis Goumas for this second leg after his first-half booking in Spain. • Panathinaikos have a fine record in the European Champion Clubs' Cup when earning an away first-leg draw, winning eight and losing only one – against Ferencvárosi TC in the 1965/66 first round – of nine ties.
