“…The results of this study are in line with human capital theory which states that education is the most important factor that can improve mindset and creativity, which in turn will be able to open up opportunities to enter the labor market (Arifin, 2023). This research is also supported by previous research conducted by (Septiawan & Wijaya, 2020) and (Lari et al, 2022), stating that there is no doubt that higher education can play an important role in the Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) of Women.…”

The role of women is not only to be a wife and housewife, but their existence can provide its color in economic activities. This research aims to analyze of determinants influencing the labor force participation rate of women in East Java Province for the years 2018-2022. This research consisted of 38 regencies/cities in East Java Province over 5 years so there were 190 observations, obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). This research method uses quantitative analysis with panel data regression. The research results show that the best model is the Fixed Effect Model. Partially, women's per capita expenditure (X1) has a positive and insignificant effect on the labor force participation rate of women (Y). The average number of years of schooling for women (X2) has a positive and significant effect on the labor force participation rate of women (Y). The minimum wage in districts/cities (X3) has a negative and insignificant effect on the labor force participation rate of women (Y). Gross Regional Domestic Product (X4) has a negative and significant effect on the labor force participation rate of women (Y). Simultaneous research results in women’s per capita expenditure (X1), average years of schooling for women (X2), minimum wage in districts/cities (X3), and Gross Regional Domestic Product (X4) together have a significant effect on the labor force participation rate of women (Y). As the number of labor force participation rate of women increases every year, it is hoped that the development strategy in East Java District/City will move towards a strategy that prioritizes improving the quality of human resources, through soft skills and hard skills training.

Background: Reminiscence studies and life reviews have a number of proven advantages. Future generations gain by learning from elders’ life experiences, as do older adults themselves who share their memories. Despite Oman’s sizable geriatric population, research on older individuals’ life experiences is scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the life experiences of older Omani individuals across their many life stages, from childhood to the present. Methods: This was a qualitative study design. Convenience sampling was employed and conducted from December 2021 to October 2022. A total of 13 Omani older adults (9 females and 4 males), with an average age of 68 years, were recruited for this study (response rate = 34%). Socio-demographic and life review information was gathered according to a set of semi-structured guiding questions. The responses were then captured on audio recordings, which underwent transcription and translation. Thematic analysis techniques were applied to the extracted data. Results: Three main themes were evident in this study’s findings: childhood memories, friendships, and relationships, as well as the elders’ past. Additionally, older adults passed on a number of gems of wisdom to be shared with the younger generations. Conclusions: This study aided in revealing the resiliency, social connections, and life reflections of Omani older adults. These themes can guide the creation of age-inclusive laws, social support initiatives, and healthcare services specifically designed to satisfy the special requirements and ambitions of the elderly population. Based on these themes, this study recommended that the local community or society build a more sympathetic and compassionate atmosphere that honors and respects the accomplishments of this essential group by recognizing and comprehending the complex experiences of older adults. In addition, future studies could explore particular aspects of these older experiences and pinpoint solutions to improve their quality of life and wellbeing.

“…The women's rights in labour and public laws in Gulf Arabs ( 2004) state the women's rights to work in public and private jobs. Which helped increase the FLFPR due to the role of the women's rights law in Bahrain, Qatar and all other Gulf countries (Lari, et al, 2022). A great graduate increase in mobile cellular subscriptions in the MENA region from 62 million to 505 million subscriptions from 2009 to 2017 is shown in the figure above due to the new wave of e-banking and e-payment methods as the new apps for shopping instead of the hours lost and physical effort to get to buy anything online is way easier now.…”

This paper examines the link between digitalization and women's empowerment in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region using panel data from 21 countries between 1992 and 2019. The study employs the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) technique to analyze the impact of information and communication technology (ICT), specifically mobile phone subscriptions and internet use, on women's empowerment as measured by the female labour force participation rate.The findings show that mobile phone subscriptions have a positive and significant shortterm effect but become insignificant in the long run. In contrast, internet use does not show significant impacts in either the short or long term. However, when considering the interaction term, mobile phone subscriptions have a positive and significant impact on women's empowerment in the long run, although the interaction term itself is negatively significant in the long run. Internet use remains insignificant in both the short and long term, but the interaction term displays a positive and significant relationship with women's empowerment in the long run. These results suggest that laws and regulations supporting women's rights enhance the effectiveness of digitalization, particularly internet use, in promoting women's empowerment. In conclusion, this study deepens our understanding of the relationship between digitalization and women's empowerment in the MENA region. By considering ICT variables and the moderating role of women-supportive laws, the research underscores the importance of mobile phone subscriptions for long-term women's empowerment and highlights the positive influence of legal frameworks in facilitating the impact of digitalization, especially internet use, on women's empowerment.
