Abstract

ABSTRACT The Saudi 2030 vision states it is committed to empowering women through education and employment, but the literature scarcely addresses their everyday realities. This paper utilises a critical realist perspective to examine the mechanisms emerging from the interplay of structural and cultural factors that impact women’s empowerment concerning local realities in Saudi Arabia. Situated within a broader study, this research explores the qualitative element of women’s work and education experiences by analysing policy documents and semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that structure and culture have a diverse impact on education and employment, which may ultimately lead to disempowerment.

沙特妇女的教育、就业和赋权

摘要沙特2030年愿景指出，沙特致力于通过教育和就业赋予妇女权力，但文献几乎没有涉及她们的日常现实。本文从批判现实主义的角度考察了结构和文化因素相互作用产生的机制，这些因素影响了沙特阿拉伯当地的妇女赋权。这项研究涉及更广泛的研究，通过分析政策文件和半结构化访谈，探讨了妇女工作和教育经历的质量因素。研究结果表明，结构和文化对教育和就业有着不同的影响，最终可能导致权力的丧失。

期刊介绍： Gender and Education grew out of feminist politics and a social justice agenda and is committed to developing multi-disciplinary and critical discussions of gender and education. The journal is particularly interested in the place of gender in relation to other key differences and seeks to further feminist knowledge, philosophies, theory, action and debate. The Editors are actively committed to making the journal an interactive platform that includes global perspectives on education, gender and culture. Submissions to the journal should examine and theorize the interrelated experiences of gendered subjects including women, girls, men, boys, and gender-diverse individuals. Papers should consider how gender shapes and is shaped by other social, cultural, discursive, affective and material dimensions of difference. Gender and Education expects articles to engage in feminist debate, to draw upon a range of theoretical frameworks and to go beyond simple descriptions. Education is interpreted in a broad sense to cover both formal and informal aspects, including pre-school, primary, and secondary education; families and youth cultures inside and outside schools; adult, community, further and higher education; vocational education and training; media education; and parental education.
