The results of the study were analyzed through two theories, that is embedded in two feminist perspectives which are Institutional feminism and the gender system.Parental leave is described as the primary reason for refugee women’s absence from labor, followed by health issues, lack of education and discrimination. The presented results indicate that the establishment of newly arrived women in the labor market is not only important for their own integration and autonomy, but it also plays a significant role in the development of society and for immigrant children's education and integration.
