Abstract:Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification to date has largely involved “production with rentier characteristics” — a mode of production that relies on oil-driven advantages such as energy- and capital-abundance and foreign labor. The kingdom’s previous attempts to invest in human capital development in order to create labor-intensive sectors for local citizens were hampered by institutional fragmentation in the education sector and the legacy of rentierism. While the current government is integrating the school system and training programs, capacity-building remains the major challenge in building a skilled Saudi workforce.

沙特阿拉伯能否超越“具有地主特征的生产”？转型石油经济中的人力资本发展

摘要：沙特阿拉伯迄今为止的经济多样化主要涉及“具有食人特征的生产”，一种依靠石油驱动的优势（例如能源和资本充裕以及外国劳工）的生产方式。沙特王国先前为人力资本发展投资以为当地居民创造劳动密集型部门的尝试受到了教育部门体制分散和食人主义的影响而受到阻碍。当届政府正在整合学校系统和培训计划时，能力建设仍然是建设熟练的沙特劳动力的主要挑战。
