The Arab world increasingly falls into two divisions, the
capital-poor and the capital-rich countries (where capital means,
in essence, oil). In the capital-rich countries shortage of labour
is the chief constraint on growth. In the capital-poor countries
analysis of the labour market is equally central, as shortage of
labour compounds the already existing problem of shortage of
capital. This book surveys the labour markets of the Arab world
state by state, evaluating them by demand and supply analysis, and
analysing the different elements in trends of employment. It
forecasts the areas of stress in the next decade and suggests ways
of minimising them. The book, based on much previously unpublished
information and on extensive on-the-spot research in the respective
Arab countries, sets out the economic and social conditions which
underly the impending crisis of development in the Arab region.
First published in 1980.
