"This book discusses skill formation, upskilling of workers, and their interaction
with technological change in Gulf countries. 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."--Page
