In the Gulf countries, falling oil prices have created a need to impose new taxes, such as the value-added tax which will be launched in the beginning of 2018; as well as a need to reduce the subsidies enjoyed by residents, including citizens and foreigners. Since such policies are likely to result in a reduction in residents’ living standards, many Gulf citizens have called for levying taxes upon, and cutting subsidies for, foreigners and not citizens, in an effort to protect the living standards of citizens at the expense of those of foreigners.

However, policymakers the world over face considerable difficulty in determining the best policies for enabling women, as some previous efforts have indirectly backfired, affirming the need to regularly revise policies, drawing upon the experience of other countries.
