Abstract

The field study aims to identify and understand the issues and challenges faced by women in the labor market in the Babylon governorate and analyze the social factors that affect women's participation in work and their professional progress. These factors may include cultural and social constraints, challenges women face in balancing professional and personal life, discrimination in career opportunities and promotions, and other related matters.

The sample size is relatively small relative to the total community size. This small size may affect the study's ability to represent the opinions and orientations of all women working in the Babil governorate. However, the study can provide some preliminary signals and analysis on the issue of women's labor in the province and the opinions of working women in this regard.

 The field study, with its rigorous data collection and statistical analysis, has concluded that there are statistically significant differences at the level of significance α ≤ 0.05 in the problem of women's work and its social dimensions. These differences, based on variables such as age, place of residence, marital status, point of work, and type of work, are of significant importance. They highlight the diverse challenges and experiences of women in the labor market, underscoring the need for targeted interventions and policies.
