Growing Labour Force in GCC Reaches 31.8 Million, Rapid Increase Observed Among Female Workers
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is making significant strides in aligning its economy with future demands by implementing green jobs and sustainable employment programmes. This transition is part of a broader strategy aimed at increasing youth employment and creating a more balanced labour market.
The GCC's economic evolution is also geared towards fostering a more inclusive labour market. The region's strategic initiatives are designed to provide sustainable job opportunities, making the labour market more adaptable in the process.
One of the key aspects of this transformation is the focus on women's economic participation. The GCC countries have launched various initiatives to encourage women's involvement in traditionally male-dominated sectors like technology and finance. These initiatives range from setting targets for female workforce inclusion, launching entrepreneurial support programmes, and reforming labour laws to enhance women’s rights in the workplace.
Moreover, the GCC is investing in training and education for women, with a focus on equipping them with the skills needed for the new green economy. This is part of a larger effort to reduce gender gaps and promote economic diversification within the region.
It's worth noting that the GCC's strategic initiatives do not specify a focus on creating jobs for a specific gender or age group. Instead, the aim is to create a labour market that is fair and balanced, providing opportunities for all.
The GCC Common Market & Comprehensive Development Strategy is a key component of this transformation. This strategy is aimed at boosting industrial sector participation and enhancing women's economic roles. By fostering a more adaptable and balanced labour market, the GCC is positioning itself for a sustainable and inclusive economic future.
