The role of women in the economic development of the second Pahlavi era; Historical analysis of achievements an‎d obstacles (1341-1357)

تاريخ

Throughout history, women have been the source of many changes in the political, social, economic an‎d cultural spheres. In this regard, during the second Pahlavi period, government actions an‎d policies were considered facilitating an‎d inhibiting factors in the status an‎d role of women. From this perspective, the present thesis, using a descriptive-analytical method, seeks to answer the question of to what extent the modernization policies of the second Pahlavi government were able to improve the economic status of women in Iran an‎d what structural an‎d cultural obstacles prevented the full realization of the goals of these policies? The results of the research show: First, Mohammad Reza Shah tried to increase the share of women in the economic sphere with the modernization policy. Second, women were able to achieve many positive achievements through the innovative measures of the Pahlavi government, especially in the development an‎d economic prosperity of the country, which was reflected in economic independence, gender division of labor, expansion of the level of education an‎d increased employment of women. Thirdly, it can be seen that the centralized governance policy during the era of Mohammad Reza Shah has had negative effects on the social status an‎d role of women. The emphasis on a modern lifestyle without sufficient attention to the prevailing cultural traditions an‎d values, the emergence of some manifestations of gender discrimination, the gap between declared an‎d practical policies in the field of women, superficial modernization an‎d ignoring the inferior classes, an‎d the concentration of power in the political structure have been among the factors that have led to the formation of dissatisfaction among some women; dissatisfaction that can be identified in the process of forming the social context of the Islamic Revolution.
