قام الزواج تاريخياً على شراكة اقتصادية، حيث كان الرجل يعمل لكي يكسب رزق العائلة، كما كانت المرأة تكرّس جهودها لتربية الأطفال، وإدارة الشؤون المنزلية. وولّد هذا الترتيب بعض المبادئ التي تحكم عملية الزواج نفسه، من بينها الحاجة للرجل المتقدم للمرأة أن يوفر لها حياة أكثر راحة مما تقدم لها عائلتها من الجانب الاقتصادي.ـ

Marriage has historically featured an economic partnership, wherein the man earns the family’s living, while the woman focuses her efforts on child-rearing, and managing household affairs. This arrangement led to certain marriage principles, among them the requirement that the proposing male be able to provide the female with an economically more comfortable life than that which her family affords her.

Trying to maximise the benefits that an economy can get from natural resources poses various challenges, and sometimes, those challenges are so big that natural resources transform from a blessing into a curse. This can happen in many ways, including the threat of armed conflict, a fate that the GCC countries have fortunately avoided despite the abundance of oil in the region.

There are many theories about how natural resources can hurt rather than help an economy. The need for such theories arises when we look at the world’s 10 richest countries by oil reserves: Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Russia, Libya, and the US – a list that contains almost as much economic hardship as it does prosperity.

تهدف كل الرؤى الاقتصادية لدى دول مجلس التعاون لتعزيز مساهمة الإناث في القوة العاملة؛ سعياً للعدالة الاقتصادية للجنسين، وأيضاً لحصد المردود الاقتصادي العام الذي يأتي حينما يستفيد الشعب من قدرات الإناث، وليس فقط الذكور. ولكن يواجه أصحاب القرار في كل أنحاء العالم صعوبة كبيرة في تحديد السياسات الأمثل لتمكين الإناث؛ لأن بعض محاولات مساعدة النساء تؤدي إلى الإضرار بهن بشكل غير مباشر؛ مما يؤكد أهمية مراجعة السياسات بشكل منتظم، بناءً على خبرة الدول الأخرى.ـ

All the Gulf economic visions aim to increase female labor force participation, in the pursuit of economic equality in the gender domain, as well as the broad economic benefits that accrue when a society makes uses of its females’ abilities, and not just those belonging to its males.
