Part-time work system will enhance women empowerment: DIFI

Doha: Doha International Family Institute (DIFI), which advocates for more women participation in the workforce in a favourable environment, has lauded legislative developments regarding terms and conditions of the part-time system in government entities.

Director of Family Policy at DFI, Khalid Al Naama, has said that the decision will help in maintaining family-work balance, and enhance women empowerment. Part-time work for women was one of the prominent recommendations advocated by DIFI, a member of Qatar Foundation, and submitted to related authorities. 

“Since June this year, after hearing the statements of the Prime Minister, H E Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al Thani, about the Council’s study of implementing the flexible work system, we have been looking forward to seeing these statements translated into measures,” Al Naama told The Peninsula.
