In Jordan, 52% of the female workforce is employed in the public sector (OECD, 2012a; Hendy, 2012). This situation mirrors similar trends in OECD countries. Yet, despite this progress in central government representation, women remain under-represented (the OECD average is 50%; see Figure 6.3). Indeed, the differences in salaries and benefits are affected both by vertical and horizontal segregation, as well as the incidence of part-time employment.
