This thesis examines how the conflict in Yemen up until 2013 affected women's employment. To investigate this question, the Difference-in-Difference approach was used as an identification strategy to compare women's employment in the pre-conflict and post-conflict period. To conduct the analysis two surveys were used: the Household Budget Survey (HBS), conducted by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) in Yemen in 2006, to represent the pre-conflict period, and the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) for Yemen in 2013 to represent the post-conflict period. The result of this thesis demonstrates that the conflict in Yemen had a negative impact on the employment of ever-married women. The results of this study constitute the first empirical evidence from Yemen and contribute to the existing literature on the effects of conflict on labor market outcomes.

Conflict disrupts and changes social structures in various ways. One outcome of conflict is that it reshapes gender norms. Particularly, it provides women with more economic opportunities in the labor market. This research will investigate the relationship between exposure to conflicts and the likelihood of women participating in the labor force. Using data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP), the study will compare groups before and during the conflict in Yemen using the Difference-in-Difference method to estimate the effect of conflict on women’s employment. The study will contribute to the literature focusing on the relationship between conflicts on gender roles providing further empirical evidence.
