Abstract:
This study investigates the socioeconomic status and discrimination experienced by women in the healthcare sector in Kabul. Through a comprehensive survey, data was collected on household income, job satisfaction, career progression, and instances of gender-based discrimination. Findings indicate a moderate household income level with variations among respondents. Women with higher incomes tend to perceive their earnings aligning with qualifications. Additionally, the study uncovers a nuanced relationship between years of employment, satisfaction, and stability. Gender-based discrimination remains a concern, impacting reporting comfort and influencing perceptions of professional development opportunities. Correlation analyses reveal positive links between beliefs in equal career opportunities, job stability, diverse job roles, and satisfaction. The study suggests interventions to address discrimination, enhance career opportunities, and improve financial literacy.
