coming, only concerning policy makers from the late 1960's 67 . Much economically active female labour has been involved in unpaid agricultural work on family farms 68 . The cultural stigma of paid employment for rural wives and daughters began, of necessity, to dissipate with the new economie conditions and the rapid urbanisation brought about by the war in 1974 69 . As The Economist noted "the libération of women has been advanced" [by the Turkish invasion - sic] 70 . This view may be implicitly confirmed by an ILO study: As in other parts of Europe the activity rate of women has been rising in recent years. While it is not possible to make comparisons of participation rates defined in exactly analogous ways at two points in time, it is worth noting that the number of employed women in Cyprus rose by 31 % over the period 1976-1980, compared with only 14% for men. 71 There are a number of problems associated with viewing the 1974 war as a fundamental cause of the rising participation of women in the formai labour market. If 1974 was a watershed in the development of the Greek-Cypriot labour market, the war was only indirectly responsible and a change in attitudes, let alone the "libération of women", was not a necessary prerequisite. The very fact that the agricultural sector was affected so dramatically by the de facto loss of territory (the formai labour force in agriculture dropped by 63% between 1973 and 1975 and never recovered 72 ) meant that much of the then unrecorded and unpaid family female labour were unemployed also. In being relocated in or close to urban areas, as most Greek-Cypriot refugees were, they were more likely to seek and find work 67 Christodoulou 1992. op. cit., p.22. 68 Republic of Cyprus 1979.
