چکیده

از آنجا که زنان زیربنای توسعه‌ی اقتصادی هر جامعه را رقم می‌زنند، امروزه نگاه جهان بیشتر به سوی نقش آنان در فعالیت‌های اقتصادی معطوف شده‌ است. لذا اگر به زنان به عنوان نیروی فعال و سازنده نگریسته شود، اثرگذاری بسیاری در روند توسعه و افزایش سرمایه انسانی آن جامعه از لحاظ کیفی و کمی خواهند داشت. نرخ مشارکت زنان در سوریه مانند بسیاری از کشورهای خاورمیانه پایین‌تر از کشورهای صنعتی و حتی کمتر از برخی کشورهای توسعه نیافته است. در این پژوهش، به بررسی تأثیر متغیرهای تحصیلات، نرخ باروری، نرخ ثبت‌ نام در مدرسه و نرخ مهاجرت بر نرخ مشارکت زنان در اقتصاد سوریه طی دوره زمانی 2019-2000 با استفاده از روش خودرگرسیون با وقفه توزیعی پرداخته شده‌ است. نتایج برآوردها حاکی از آن است که متغیرهای تحصیلات و نرخ مهاجرت (با توجه به این که مردان بیشترین درصد مهاجران را تشکیل می‌دهند)، تأثیر مثبت و معنادار بر نرخ مشارکت اقتصادی زنان داشته و متغیرهای نرخ باروری و نرخ ثبت نام در مدرسه، تأثیر منفی بر نرخ مشارکت اقتصادی زنان در سوریه دارند.

چکیده [English]

Since Women are the foundation of economic development in any society, nowadays the world is more focused on their role in economic activity. Therefore, considering women as an active and constructive sector will certainly have a great impact on the development and increase of human resources in that society in terms of quality and quantity. The participation rate of women in Syria, like many countries in the Middle East, is lower than developed countries and even some developing countries. In this study, the effects of education, fertility rate, school enrollment rate, and migration rate on the rate of female labor force participation in the Syrian economy during the period 2000-2019 have been studied by using the auto-regressive distributed lag model. The results indicate that the variables of education and migration rate (where men make up most of the migrants) have a positive and significant effect on women's economic participation rate. However, fertility rate and school enrollment rate have a negative effect on Syrian women's economic participation.
