    First published in 1990. This book grew out of a dissertation written during 1983-86 and is an analysis of the social policies needed to facilitate women's entry into the labour force. Pushing the need and recognition that it is essential now for Gulf women to move beyond their domestic activities by taking an active role and by providing leadership to ensure that they have access to the opportunities and benefits of economic development. The tables presented here are entirely new in the sense that data were selected from 1941-81 censuses. Other statistics were drawn from different sources reflecting developments during the 1980s.
