Abstract

One of the most difficult decisions, especially in the societies of third world countries, is the decision to send a woman to work. This decision has many social and economic consequences, and the decision to send a woman to work is subject to a set of influencing factors that differ from one society to another. This research deals with the most important demographic factors influencing the decisions of women going out for work in Syrian society in general and the Province of Lattakia in particular. The research reached a set of results, the most important of them include: 1) There were no significant differences between the mean answers according to the family situation. There are fundamental differences between the people in the countryside and the city when deciding to go out to work. There is a preference for exit to work among city residents, where the average decision to exit to work reached 3.3, while this indicator reached 3.01 among rural residents. 2) There were no significant differences between the mean answers according to age.
