"This paper examines the structural and economic drivers behind the feminization of poverty in post-2011 Tunisia, analyzing the impacts of internal rural-to-urban migration, labor market exclusion, and disproportionate unemployment on women. It highlights how economic instability and caregiving burdens exacerbate female poverty, offering policy recommendations for legislative reforms in wage parity, land ownership, and social protection infrastructure."
