This thought-provoking study measures and critically examines the effects that an averageÃÂ population growth rate of 2.8% could have on the development of the Arab Gulf States.ÃÂ ItÃÂ questions the ability of Gulf governments toÃÂ continue providing relatively high standards ofÃÂ education, health and employment under conditions of rapid population growth, an undiversified economic base, and a tribal political framework.ÃÂ ÃÂ Within this context, population growth is identified as one important variable that hinders long-term development. The book will appeal to all those interested in the Middle East, demography, development and sociology. |
