According to the significance role of woman in economy as a supplier in labor market,
here we study the female education in national economic activities. Based on official
statistical report, despite constituting half of the world’s population, women’s share of
the fruits of development has been very meager. This difference is more tangible in
developing countries due to the limitation of resources and domination of discriminative
ideas.
Based on the results and examination, this research has shown that literacy rate and
education can significantly effect on job opportunities for female headed households. In
other words, education can increase the probability of women headed households to be
employed compared to men. Although women headed households have lower chances to
be employed compared to men, if these women have high literacy rate and education,
they will have more chances to find jobs than men.Jel: J12, J16 ?J21 ?R2
