               ore than 70 per cent of GCC youth preferred government
           Mjobs over those offered by the private sector.  7000
             These findings from the ‘Arab Youth Survey’ of October
           2016, commissioned by Asda’a Burson-Marsteller, show us an
           unsettling trend.
             That the dream of a cushy job, with high income, is probably
           making many Arab youth postpone taking up private sector
           jobs, even if they consider them.               year-old
             An article titled ‘5 Megatrends Shaping The Middle East’
           (Forbes, 27 Oct 2016) quotes a PricewaterhouseCoopers’ report
           saying:  “With 40% of the population under 25 in the Middle
           East, by 2050, a fifth of the GGC’s national population will be
           elderly, compared to 2% now. And youth unemployment at   lost city
           28% is one of the highest unemployment rates in the world”.
             When there is a growing youth segment, and when they
           are not getting jobs, quite clearly, something is amiss. And it
           should make us think.

           certain responsibilities and cultural resistances to certain jobs,”   Missing Pets
           among other perceptions on youth unemployment.
             Differentiating certain types of jobs for foreign workers and
           certain others for the nationals could cause a gap that might be
           detrimental to the cultural-construct of the countries. ‘Dignity
           of labour’ is an ethos that needs huge promotion.
             In an article “Oil to Toil” (The Economist, 10 Sep 2016),
           I found this interesting line: “The trouble is that young Gulf
           Arabs have come to feel entitled to government jobs. Terms
           are generous and duties light, dulling the incentive for bright
           graduates to invest in skills needed by the private sector, such
           as  engineering.  Few  (nationals)  would  consider  working  in
           shops or restaurants, let alone on building sites.”
             Employers paying foreign-workers less, for a job that a local
           would do for higher salary, could make short term economic
           sense. But, in the long run, it would strain the economy with                                                      BOBO - Male, 10 mos, three black lines

           what is available in other languages) – can give the nationals
           a surer footing.
             And then, when university courses are properly aligned with
           sector-wise industry demands, it could be easier for nationals
           to enter and exploit the job market effectively – whether in
