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. .Contributions to Economics,1431-1933Labor economicsPersonnel managementManagementIndustrial managementDevelopment economicsEconomic policyGlobalizationMarketsLabor Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W37000Human Resource Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/517000Innovation/Technology Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000Development Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000R & D/Technology Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000Emerging Markets/Globalizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525010Labor economics.Personnel management.Management.Industrial management.Development economics.Economic policy.Globalization.Markets.Labor Economics.Human Resource Management.Innovation/Technology Management.Development Economics.R & D/Technology Policy.Emerging Markets/Globalization.331.09535Mohamed Nour Samiaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut866716BOOK9910438090303321Technological Change and Skill Development in Arab Gulf Countries2517747UNINA
