OverviewRead examines the labor force activity of Arab-American women, a group whose work experiences provide an exception to accepted theories. The employment rates of Arab immigrant women rank among the lowest of any immigrant group, while the rates of native-born Arab-American women resemble those of U.S.-born white women. These differences cannot be explained by Arab-American women s human capital characteristics or family resources, but are due to traditional cultural norms that prioritize women s family obligations over their economic activity and to ethnic and religious social networks that encourage the maintenance of traditional gender roles. Read s findings challenge assumptions about variations in ethnic women s labor force participation. Arab cultural valuesplay an important role in determining the position of women of Arab descent inAmerican society.
