The Arab Spring exposed the fundamental weakness of the non-oil Arab economies, namely the imbalance between population growth and the labor market, resulting in the emergence of structural unemployment among young adults. By the early 2000s, these economies faced impossible circumstances. In order to achieve substantial economic growth they had to reduce subsidies and increase privatization-economic policies that led to a deterioration of the living standards of the vast majority of the population. The Arab Spring created a new category in the region, that of the failed Arab state characterized by a fallen old regime without a competent new regime to replace it. Civil wars resulted along lines of religious or ethnic division, as in Syria (Alawites against Sunnis), Iraq (Shi'is against Sunnis, and Kurds against Arabs), and in Yemen (Shi'is against Sunnis). Regional divisions also accounted for the civil war in Libya. The other side of the new Arab map is the Arabian Gulf oil states which continue to function as before, both politically and socio-economically. With extensive tables and figures, this book sets out the political demographics of Arab countries. Subject: Middle East Studies, Demography, International Labor Migration, Economics, Politics]

During the twentieth century, the Middle East and North African populations, similar to other developing countries worldwide, increased rapidly, climbing from 68 million in 1914, on the eve of World War I, to 325 million in 1998 (including Turkey and Iran). This rapid population growth (an increase of almost five-fold) in less than one century resulted not from massive immigration waves, as was the case in some developed countries such as US, Canada, and Australia, but from high natural increase rates. The textbook format contains a country-by-country analysis using detailed figures and tables, with supplementary sources. The aim of this book is four-fold: First, to examine the phenomenon of the rapid population growth in the Middle East during the twentieth century in line with the Demographic Transition Model. Second, to examine and analyse the various socioeconomic consequences of this growth -- the creation of a wide-based age pyramid and its implications; the rapid urbanization process and increasing housing shortage; increasing governmental expenditures on subsidies of basic foodstuffs and public services, particularly health care, education, and transportation; increasing sh

This study provides a general outline of Palestinian population growth between 1948 and 1987 and then focuses on the town of Nablus for a detailed analysis of the main aspects of Palestinian migration and high rates of natural increase. The author shows how the recession that struck the Arab oil economies in the early 1980s, by slowing down the migratory movement, shut off the valve that had afforded the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza relief from economic pressures.

This report assesses likely demographic and economic trends in the Arab world through 2020, focusing on changes that are likely to affect U.S. defense planning and U.S. policy in the region. The report assesses how long-term trends in demographic changes and the economies in this region are likely to affect U.S. interests. The report explores population shifts and economic changes in both energy-rich and energy-poor countries. Implications for U.S. policy from this report include slower population growth easing pressures on natural resources and public services and U.S. support for such programs as family planning and female education encouraging trends toward lower fertility rates. More-relaxed U.S. and European immigration and visa policies toward the citizens of the Middle East can enhance political and community ties between Arabs and the West. The United States, through the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, should encourage economic liberalization and free trade within the region.

This book, first published in English in 1964, examines a wide range of topics concerning society in the Arab East. Chapters are concerned with woman and the family; religious and linguistic communities; bedouins, fellas and townsmen; and the various social and economic classes and strata. While there are no special sections devoted to geography, economics, culture, trends of thought, and the historical and political developments of the Arab Eastern countries, there is scarcely a page which does not touch on one or another of them.

The field of political demography - the politics of population change - is dramatically underrepresented in political science. At a time when demographic changes - aging in the rich world, youth bulges in the developing world, ethnic and religious shifts, migration, and urbanization - are waxing as never before, this neglect is especially glaring and starkly contrasts with the enormous interest coming from policymakers and the media. "Ten years ago, [demography] was hardly on the radar screen," remarks Richard Jackson and Neil Howe of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, two contributors to this volume. "Today," they continue, "it dominates almost any discussion of America's long-term fiscal, economic, or foreign-policy direction." Demography is the most predictable of the social sciences: children born in the last five years will be the new workers, voters, soldiers, and potential insurgents of 2025 and the political elites of the 2050s. Whether in the West or the developing world, political scientists urgently need to understand the tectonics of demography in order to grasp the full context of today's political developments. This book begins to fill the gap from a global and historical perspective and with the hope that scholars and policymakers will take its insights on board to develop enlightened policies for our collective future.

In the West, news about the Middle East is dominated by an endless stream of reports and commentary about civil war, sectarian violence, religious extremism, and economic stagnation. But do they tell the full story? For instance, who knew that university enrolment in the war-torn Palestinian territories exceeds that of Hong Kong, or that more than a third of Lebanese entrepreneurs are women? Change is on its way in the Middle East, argues Bessma Momani, and its cause is demographic. Today, one in five Arabs is between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four. Young, optimistic, and increasingly cosmopolitan, their generation will shape the region’s future. Drawing on interviews, surveys, and other research conducted with young people in fifteen countries across the Arab world, Momani describes the passion for entrepreneurship, reform, and equality among Arab youth. With insightful political analysis based on the latest statistics and first-hand accounts, Arab Dawn is an invigorating study of the Arab world and the transformative power of youth.

It thereby focuses on topics such as the demographic dividend and the demographic transition, labour market challenges, health care, universal education and gender issues. These challenges are addressed at a country level and include policy implications for the large majority of the Muslim countries covered in this book. Moreover, political consequences for Europe with respect to the integration of Muslims are presented to the reader.
