| dc.description.abstract | This thesis aims to examine the participation of women in the Ethiopian music industry, identify the barriers they face, and propose solutions to promote greater women's involvement. The research focuses on factors that hinder women's role and representation in the music industry, specifically in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The study applies a qualitative research method, employing questionnaires and interviews as data collection tools. The questionnaire is administered to both male and female music students and graduates who are actively engaged in the Ethiopian music industry. Interviews are conducted with key informants, including individuals in influential positions in music institutions, music teachers, successful women musicians, and leaders of women ensemble groups. The findings reveal a gender imbalance in the music industry, with various factors identified as influencing women's participation, such as societal gender perceptions, parental influence, gender stereotyping, economic factors, limited support and opportunities, safety and security challenges, perceptions of teachers, lack of self-confidence, and beliefs. To empower women in the Ethiopian music industry, stakeholders such as music schools, cultural houses, governmental offices, families, society, male counterparts, successful women musicians, and the government should challenge stereotypes, provide support, foster collaboration, and create an inclusive environment for their success | |
