The rumour mill is buzzing with the news that employment of Saudi women is a far-fetched dream because the shop owners are not comfortable with the idea of employing women executives in the Lingerie departments.
However, Labour Minister Ghazi Algosaibi, who is quite close to Saudi king Abdullah said that he won’t withdraw the plan and will make it a point that more job space is created for the Saudi women.
The count of female graduate is growing substantially every year and it is necessary to accommodate the million of new comers in the Saudi job industry.
The resistance of the businesspersons and the clerics is posing a threat in this ultra conservative kingdom, nevertheless, according to Algosaibi, all the shop-owners are given a deadline to reconsider their decision, which is scheduled for June next year.
