I am about to head to Egypt for a research project titled “Gender Equality: A Case for Egyptian Prosperity” where I will be interviewing Egyptians (from across the Egyptian stratum) on female empowerment in the economic workforce. I need assistance with the background, literature review, scholarly arguments/counterarguments, and current policy positions of the Egyptian government to build the base of this study.
I have attached a copy of the previous study, for your info/background. It is not a finished product and is being reviewed/polished as a final product. But I wanted to give you the background on recommendations I made for female empowerment through structural economic reforms.
I have also attached a copy of working thoughts on the current research topic, questions, and outcomes. It has a primer for the research and generally divides the research into two discernable categories – 1. scholarly research, academic consensus, argument/counterargument and 2. field research gained through interview of the Egyptian population.
The end product needs to be a ~4000-5000 word product with graphs, charts, maps, etc. All references must be cited in APA format. The product should attempt to find scholars that recommend social reforms along the lines (or opposed to the direction) of female economic inclusion. The product should also include policy recommendations (for the Egyptian Government to undertake) in order to acheive female empowerment and economic inclusion. I will add my field data from interviews in Egypt and tailor the product to the field data afterword.
Let me know if this is something you would be interested in undertaking and what the prix fixe would be. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Topic, Questions, and Outcomes
Working Title/Topic: Gender Equality – A Case for Egyptian Prosperity
Background: In a previous research study (Analysis of the IMF-Egypt Program and Potential for
Revolution), empirical evidence demonstrated the untapped economic resource of the female
workforce in Egypt (6.1, 6.2, and 6.5). The study built upon existing research and provided original data
suggesting structural economic reform would be tolerable to the Egyptian population. Finally, with the
aim of achieving economic goals and avoiding social unrest, the study recommended structural
economic reforms to empower women in the workforce as an economic engine of growth.
Significance to the Community: As the background indicates, there are navigable solutions to the
political economy of Egypt in the modern revolution epoch. However, how do seemingly suitable
solutions to the political economy of Egypt stack up against cultural and anthropological realities?
Solutions aimed at addressing the Egyptian political economy can only be as successful as they are
supported by the cultural beliefs/values of the Egyptian population. Currently, there are several bodies
of empirical research enumerating Egypt in terms of modern-day gender equality, gender equity, gender
disparity, and gender discrimination (World Bank Data, OECD Data, IMF Data, UN Data, IMAGES-MENA,
etc.). The prevailing academic consensus would indicate there are substantial challenges (female
economic participation, inequitable gender roles, gender based violence, religious law, cultural norms,
etc.) to any proposed structural economic reforms aimed to empower women in the workforce.
However, there are limited research studies focused on the subcultural perceptions and undercurrents
of gender equality. Further research on the underlying subcultural perceptions would give indications as
to the cultural tides of female empowerment. How do Egyptian Millennials interpret the issues? What
is the difference in parity between women and men in the home, workplace, and government amongst
the wealthy? Is there a cultural tipping point for civil equivalency on the horizon and is it
identifiable/influenceable? This proposed research intends to illuminate the subcultural understandings
of gender equality in Egypt. In this vein, the proposed research will build upon the previously mentioned
study, attempt to identify competing alternatives of academic consensus, utilize the previous study’s
data to enrich the analytical process, and drive toward informative interviews to gain insights on
findings. The significance of this research will culminate in policy recommendations to reinforce and
accelerate cultural underpinnings toward gender parity and operationalizing subcultural currents of
Egyptian female empowerment.
Questions:
• Current cultural situation (existing research):
o What is the current state of affairs for gender inequality in Egypt?
o Global Gender Gap Index?
o World Bank/UN Data (employment, workforce %, labor stats, etc.)?
o Social Institutions and Gender Index?
• Examining the subcultural currents:
o How is gender equality viewed through different subcultural prisms?
o How do different age groups view gender equality?
o How do different Egyptian religious sects view gender equality?
o How do men and women view gender equality?
o How do differing socioeconomic classes view gender equality?
o How does education level impact views on gender inequality?
• Cultural Will:
o Is there a definable cultural tipping point to support gender parity?
o Are their structural policy changes that can cement cultural will and reinforce the
positive cultural currents?
o What are the competing cultural forces to any positive cultural currents toward positive
change?
• Political Will:
o Is there a definable political will for cultural change toward gender parity?
o What is the current government position regarding gender equality?
o Are there any political (social, religious, or otherwise) red-lines established to govern
political thresholds?
• Social/Civil Reforms
o Are there complementary social/civil reforms available to the Sisi regime to employ in
concert with the cultural currents of change toward gender parity?
o Can complimentary social reforms be designed/aimed at reinforcing economic reforms
for female empowerment in the workforce?
Outcomes:
• Remember. Describe the positions of current subcultures in Egypt.
• Understand. Review and Predict the effects of gender inequality on the economic and political
spheres in Egypt.
• Apply. Produce a list of social/civil reforms aimed at achieving gender parity without alienating
major political subcultures of Egyptian society.
• Analyze. Research, Interview, and Analyze the top competing alternatives for cultural
acceptance and political will.
• Evaluate. Evaluate the competing alternatives for social impact and Prioritize recommendations
according to impact, social acceptance, and political will.
• Create. Synthesize and Propose a final list of social/civil policy reforms supported by field data
to integrate Gender Equality with Economic Reforms.
