AbstractDr. Manal Fakeeh

Saudi Arabia is a young wealthy

nation with multiple social and

economic problems. While the

country is extremely wealthy, it has

a young population, many of whom

are unemployed.

The country is highly dependent on a single resource (oil), and relies heavily on imported labour to meet the requirements of economic growth and contribute to the development of the country.

In recognition of these systemic problems, the Government has developed a policy of ‘Nationalization’ as a way of replacing expatriate with Saudi workers as a way of solving the problem of unemployment.

First we need to understand the roots of this paradox of high wealth and high unemployment.

How did Saudi Arabia arrive at a situation where it became dependent on the labour of expatriates and why did the government not use the countries’ wealth to create a vibrant high-skill economy?

What strategies is the government using to deal with alarming rates of high unemployment, and how successful are their endeavours. Is Nationalization the answer to the current labour market situation and, if not, what are the shortcomings of the policy?

The policy of Nationalization falls short in several key areas:

First, Nationalization is targeting the symptom (unemployment) instead of focusing on the problem employability.

In many respects, the education system and labour market situations are poorly aligned;

strict religious controls over the content of the curriculum and a lack of forward planning means that young Saudis are not being equipped with the hard or soft skills necessary to meet economic demands.

Second, the policy is not tuned into the needs of the private sector and has failed to meet the concerns of employers or employees.

Third, the policy has failed to respect the varying situations of employers in different sectors of the labour market and should recognise the need to set industry specific targets for Nationalization.
