Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg
[edit]
Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Article Expansion
[edit]As far as I can tell, there appears to be a lot of room for expanding this article. In particular, there are figures available that estimate the participation rates of women in the economies of many different countries. While this is touched on in the article, it can be discussed with more precision through citing the applicable sources. Also, the article asserts that the statistic is not accurate, but there is no evidence to back up this statement.

Expansion Ideas
[edit]I just read this article and had a few ideas for how to expand it. I noticed that while the definition of female economic activity is clear. However, as Mattsaathoff noted, the information on what female economic activity really looks like for various regions, or over time, is not very developed. It might be helpful to develop a section that discusses when researchers first started measuring female economic activity and why, and how it has changed since then.
Also, by the time I reached the end of the article, I wanted to ask, “what about the distinction between female labor in the public and domestic spheres?” I feel like the historic division of labor between men and women might be worth mentioning to contextualize this statistic of female economic activity, since women regularly contribute to the economy through raising families and other domestic work. If you feel like this acknowledgement fits with this article, I would support adding it in the introductory paragraph.
Finally, I noticed that the article only uses one source, and that some sentences need citations. The sentence stating that female economic activity is not a very reliable statistic and changes from year to year also jumped out to me. I found some sources dealing with female economic activity that might help: https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2020/06/23/addressing-the-barriers-that-hold-back-womens-economic-activity-in-the-mashreq-countries-would-boost-growth-and-prosperity
