Abstract
Social Media Usage and Women's Empowerment in Qatar: Evidence from a National Representative Survey
Highlights
Social media usage has grown in importance over the past decade, in Middle East
A questionnaire was initially designed in English and translated into Arabic by the Social and Economic Survey Research Institute (SESRI) to collect all necessary information related to the study
We find that social media usage in the examined population is related to increased support for woman in community leadership among Qatari females but not males
Summary
Social media usage has grown in importance over the past decade, in Middle East. In increasing women’s awareness of their equal rights in holding positions of power and contributing to their political and economic empowerment is not widely discussed in Qatar. Qatar is a case where researchers might expect to find changing attitudes in spite of the absence of major social media feminist activists.
