Description
The GCC countries today face a gap between educational output and labour market requirements. These countries enjoy substantial incomes and therefore spend generously on education, resulting in impressive levels of educational penetration among their populations within only a few decades. Yet returns on investment in education in the GCC countries are low. "Education and the Requirements of the GCC Labour Market" outlines the scale of the current dilemma; methods with which to monitor its indicators - such as population growth rates, the spread of education, foreign work force concerns, and unemployment; variables of education - labor market dynamics in an international context; and, case studies of the relationship between education and employment, including a review of the various related strategies and policies adopted. By looking to the future challenges that face the GCC in the arena of education and labour markets, this book provides vital analysis for those interested in these issues, as well as development in the Middle East and the wider region.
