A recent research done by Layla Falahati and Nassim Mahboubi shows that women with higher education endure high unemployment rates specially in social sciences and law, despite a seven-fold increase in the employment of women.
The study reveals that despite the fact that the number of men and women graduating from schools of higher education and universities are equal, but women graduates have much more difficulties in finding jobs than men do. These difficulties include cultural and social obstacles in addition to the absence of a suitable environment for employment of women in society.
