Abstract

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can be described as a young nation in terms of its date of creation and its rapidly increasing proportion of children and young people in its population. Various sources have been cited to explain the causes and describe the consequences of child poverty and youth unemployment. The factors mentioned for future verification are the interrelationship between, on the one hand, government and religion, social conservatism, sensitivity to criticism, unmatched education, and development policies, and, on the other hand, the general attitude of the Saudi youth toward a job versus a dreamed position in a government office. This article aims to raise awareness and to generate further discussions in, and investigations of, both the public and private sectors, so as to harness the vast resources of Saudi Arabia, mainly derived from oil, to appropriately address the rising issues of child poverty and youth unemployment. 就国家创立日期和儿童及青年在人口比例中急速增加而言,沙特阿拉伯王国可被称为一个年青的民族。不同资源的引用解释了儿童贫困和青年失业的起因和结果。未来需要验证的因素包括:政府和宗教、社会保守主义、批判敏感性、教育不匹配、发展政策这几者之间的内部关系,以及,沙特青年对一般工作的态度和对在梦想的政府办公室上班的态度之间的内部关系。本文致力提高有关公共部门和私人部门的意识,对公共和私人部门进行进一步探讨和调查,从而加强沙特阿拉伯的不同资源(主要是石油资源),并适当处理儿童贫困和青年失业等愈演愈烈的问题。 El Reino de Arabia Saudita puede describirse como una nación joven en términos de su fecha de creación y su creciente proporción de niños y jóvenes en su población. Se han citado varias fuentes para explicar las causas y describir las consecuencias de la pobreza infantil y el desempleo juvenil. Los factores mencionados para la verificación futura son la interrelación entre, por un lado, el gobierno y la religión, el conservadurismo social, la sensibilidad a la crítica, la educación incomparable y las políticas de desarrollo, y, por otro lado, la actitud general de la juventud saudí hacia un puesto de trabajo versus un lugar soñado en una oficina gubernamental. El objetivo de este documento es crear conciencia y generar más debates e investigaciones sobre los sectores público y privado, a fin de aprovechar los vastos recursos de Arabia Saudita, principalmente derivados del petróleo, para abordar de manera apropiada los crecientes problemas de pobreza infantil. y el desempleo juvenil.
