Average indicators of Gulf women’s empowerment during the period 1996-2015. To identify the extent to which there is a statistically significant difference between the GCC countries in the indicators of women’s empowerment, the One Way ANOVA parametric analysis test was used. To identify the detailed difference between the largest Gulf countries in achieving indicators and other countries, the Post Hoc Tests were used. Symbols indicate that differences between countries in enabling indicators are statistically significant at less than *** 1%, ** 5%, and * 10%. | |||||||
