الملخص

يهدف هذا البحث إلى تحليل واقع المرأة الاقتصادي والاجتماعي في محافظة معان، ففي مجال الخصائص الاجتماعية، بيَنت الدراسة أن أهم التحديات التي تواجه المرأة في محافظة معان تكمن في ارتفاع معَدلات الأمية، مما ينعكس سلباً على مشاركتها في قوة العمل، وبالتالي تدني مستواها المعيشي. أما في الجانب الإيجابي فقد تمكنت المرأة من ردم فجوة التعليم العالي حيث حققت المرأة في معان معدلات التحاق في درجة البكالوريوس تفوق المستوى الوطني. وفيما يتعلق بالواقع الاقتصادي، بينت الدراسة أن أهم المعيقات التي تقف أمام المرأة تكمن في ارتفاع معدلات البطالة، إذ بينت الدراسة أن معدلات البطالة لدى الإناث في محافظة معان تفوق المستوى الوطني، وفي ظل الأوضاع الحالية للمحافظة وغياب المشاريع الاقتصادية والتنموية، وزيادة إقبال المرأة على التعليم العالي، فإن معدلات بطالة الإناث في محافظة معان مرشحة للارتفاع. وقد أوصت الدراسة بضرورة تبَني استراتيجية على مستوى المحافظة, للتعامل مع التحديات، والمعيقات الاقتصادية، والاجتماعية التي تواجه المرأة في محافظة معان وبخاصة في مجال الحد من مشكلتي الأمية والبطالة.
