| This study focused on exploring the differences between rural women quitting work and their personal and economical characteristics. The study also aimed at identifying their motives for seeking jobs, working conditions, and reasons for quitting their jobs. In order to achieve the research objectives Al Menia Governorate was chosen to conduct the research. Al Mankatein village in Samalout district was chosen due to its high population density, as well as its near location to the governorate first city and to Samalout district. The scope of respondents included all the rural women who were employed until 2004 aged between 15-65 that amounted to 117 respondents from which a random sample of 50 respondents representing 42% of the sample was chosen.
