Abstract
Despite promising growth, unemployment is high and is one of the socio-economic problems in Ethiopia. Moreover, it is higher for females compared to males. The main objective of this study is to assess unemployment status and identify factors that influence the unemployment status of women in urban Ethiopia. The data for this study was obtained from the 2011 Ethiopia Demographic and Health survey (EDHS, 2011) conducted in Ethiopia as part of the worldwide demographic and health survey project. A sample of 5,274 women between the ages of 15-49 years in urban Ethiopia was included in the study. Descriptive statistics, classical (ordinary) logistic regression and Bayesian logistic regression methods were used to analyze the data. Out of the 5,274 women considered in the analysis, 2,712(51.42%) women were unemployed at the time of data collection. The results obtained from the analysis of binary logistic regression indicate that age, region, religion, number of household members, education, literacy, mass media, pregnancy, number of living children and marital status significantly affect the unemployment status of women in urban Ethiopia. Efforts should be made to improve women education that involves policies and programmes with measurable results.
