WORKING WOMEN IN SAUDI ARABIA
Historically Saudi Arabia has seen a low level of female participation in the workforce. However, reforms in the last decade, such as the right to vote, right to drive and change in guardianship rules, have considerably impacted women’s access to work.
64% The share of Saudi women in the labour market expanded by an incredible 64% in just two years.
37% The numbers are increasing steadily and the workforce now stands at 37% female.
For non-Saudi women considering a career move to Saudi Arabia, there is an active drive to increase female representation working on these giga-projects. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 outlined plans to increase the female labour force participation rate to over 30%. This goal was achieved in 10 years, and we’re seeing the female share in the giga- project workforce continue to go from strength to strength.
