| Abstract Female employment is a complex phenomenon which is affected by many social, economic and demographic factors. Thus, the traditional methods used in studying female employment make it very difficult to evaluate the effects of these interrelated factors. This paper is concerned with the development of a probabilistic model for studying the effects of these factors. A brief analysis to the most important factors affecting female employment is illustrated. A general probabilistic model for studying female employment is developed. A special case of the suggested general probabilistic model is introduced. An application to the special case model using published data of the most recent population census conducted in A.R.E. in 1986 is represented. | ||
