education and vocational training

Unemployment remains a serious issue for Iraqis, but for young women the problem is especially acute, with only 10% of 15- to 29-year-old'

s in formal employment. Traditional socio-cultural factors and limited infrastructure impede women’s participation in education and vocational training. As a result, Iraqi women are often socially and economically excluded from household decision-making and from community or political participation.
