This volume provides a cross-cutting analysis of the policy challenges related to Gulf Cooperation Council labour markets. It analyses the different dimensions of segmentation of these markets, factors of change influencing labour supply such as trends in education and demography, as well as the impact of potential future reforms in areas such as immigration policy, labour sponsorship, taxation and minimum wages. The work therefore provides an overview of what arguably will be the core socio-economic challenge for the GCC in the coming years. The work brings together state-of-the-art analysis by international scholars who participated in a major joint initiative by the EU and the GCC, the al-Jisr Gulf-Europe Research Program.
