21 Aug 2013

(MENAFN) Saudi female students are capable of working part time and study at the same time, a recent study shows, according to Arab News.

The study said that 87 percent of them will work if the opportunity was given. Khalid Alkhudair, founder and CEO of Glowork & Ashoka fellow, commented: “They want to work not for financial reasons, but purely for experience.”

“I am sure if this survey was conducted for males, the outcome would be different and that”s because in the Kingdom, our sons and daughters are financially dependent on their parents and until that changes, the need to work is limited,” He added.

Saudi women can be active members of the society if the gap between education and employment sector were filled by allowing them to work part time so that they do not worry about their future careers after graduation.
