This book discusses skill formation, upskilling of
workers, and their interaction with technological change in
Gulf countries. Heavy dependence on oil, the 'Dutch Disease', and
the high incidence of unskilled foreign workers have caused
serious structural imbalances in the labour market in the
Gulf. The author shows that success of economic
development strategies to address such imbalances are
all contingent upon the development of adequate and appropriate
skills in the region. This book confirms the role and impact of the
deficiencies in the educational system alongside the well
established effects of the excessive use of uneducated
foreign workers and lack of incentives in the labour
market. A comprehensive investigation of the skill
problem and an elaborate in-depth analysis to
assess the causes, consequences and relationships between poor
skills and technological performance are highlights of this book.
This is an ideal resource for policy makers in the Gulf region and
researchers of the topic.Â
