The current study aimed to identify the social problems facing female workers in irregular employment, including the reasons for choosing this type of work, problems and diseases resulting from work, problems of sexual harassment at work, and the customs and traditions prevailing in society that affect the workers.  The nature of the informal work was represented in working on agricultural lands for a daily wage.  Where the research sample consisted of 20 female workers and was chosen randomly, taking into account the diversity in age, educational level, and years of work. This study was also applied to female workers in agricultural lands in one of the villages of Upper Egypt - the village of Enebis - affiliated to Juhayna Center in Sohag Governorate.  The case study approach and the informed interview and observation tool were used, due to the nature of the research community, the type of work and the intended category of the study that only the in-depth qualitative study is compatible with in order for us to reach the research objectives. The results of the research also found that the primary motive for women entering work is an economic motive of 100% in order to strive to provide the basic and basic needs of female workers and their families. The reason for choosing this work is due to the nature of society and its customs and traditions, which accept only this type of work for women.  The prevailing customs and traditions in society represent a great pressure factor for them, such as buying marriage supplies that require a lot of money, so that they can keep pace with the changes that are taking place in society.  Female workers are exposed to sexual harassment at work of all kinds.  Bias against women in wages, insufficient wages, and her receiving half of what men earn, and the nature of work is the same.  And that discrimination in wages is due to discrimination for the sake of sex only, being a man and being a female does not have the right to be equal with men..
Research proposals:
- The local community plays its role towards the poor groups in society, especially in the villages of Upper Egypt.
- The researcher also suggests to the National Council for Women to pay attention to these marginalized groups of female workers and try to provide them with a help and provide some small projects that guarantee them a more stable and useful work and less harm to the health of workers.
- The researcher also suggests that the Ministry of Social Solidarity seek to provide projects for female workers that would guarantee them the right to live and provide for their needs and the various needs of their families.
