Abstract
This paper aims to explore the impact of national policies that are directed toward women empowerment in Saudi Arabia. The study focuses primarily on the impact that these policies had on women unemployment rate from the period of 2010 to 2019. During this period, the Saudi government issued multiple laws and policies to ensure a positive impact on women participation in labor market. This study assesses the short-term impact of each policy to understand the effect of policy on women’s participation in labor force. The results of this study show that there was a slight increase in women’s participation in labor market. However, we recommend that further studies should be conducted to study the long-term impact on women’s unemployment rate.
Highlights
For a long time, the Saudi women had experienced social discrimination and disparity, which caused a sexual orientation hole in the labor force (Doumato,2010)
International organizations have consistently been handling the issue of disparity between sexual orientations in Saudi Arabia, imagining that Islam is answerable for making that status
The study concludes that the Saudi government has gained critical ground in the condition of sexual orientation equity in training, wellbeing and progress in business
Summary
The Saudi women had experienced social discrimination and disparity, which caused a sexual orientation hole in the labor force (Doumato,2010). Regardless, countless youthful wedded Saudi men have communicated their help for Saudi women' investment in the workforce (Bursztyn and Yanagizawa-Drott, 2018). This guardianship strategy had been struck down in February 2018 (Ministry of Trade and Investment, 2018). Saudi women have their parts inside and outside their family units. These jobs are characterized inside social and social setting, which are not quite the same as the global principles
