However, a new research paper suggests that giving women a bigger role in decisions of investment funds improves their performance. Consequently, Gulf governments and private sectors should examine the results of this study as part of their efforts to implement their economic visions.

Marriage has historically featured an economic partnership, wherein the man earns the family’s living, while the woman focuses her efforts on child-rearing, and managing household affairs.
