Women on the Arab labour market. Option becoming reality
(Katedra Arabistyki i Islamistyki, Uniwersytet Warszawski, 2004) Górak-Sosnowska, Katarzyna; Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Warsaw; Department of Economic Sociology, Warsaw School of Economics
The key potential of Arab economies, currently rather turning into their curse, is the human capital. According to the Arab Human Development Report 2002 there are approximately 6 million entrants yearly to the Arab labour market (UNDP 2002: 10) and the labour force is expected to grow in the next 10 years to 3,4% yearly―twice as much as in other developing regions (World Bank 2003: 3). The ‘demographic gift’―the growing number of labour force and decreasing dependency ratio, might lead to economic growth―if used properly. However, in case of most Arab countries, labour demand doesn’t meet the supply, which translates into huge unemployment rates, being among the highest in the world.

Perspektywy świata arabskiego w kontekście Milenijnych Celów Rozwoju
(Petit, 2007) Górak-Sosnowska, Katarzyna; Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Warsaw; Department of Economic Sociology, Warsaw School of Economics
Przedmiotem opracowania jest analiza społeczno-gospodarcza świata arabskiego w kontekście Milenijnych Celów Rozwoju (MCR). Tak zarysowany zakres tematyczny pozwala z jednej strony przedstawić świat arabski w ujęciu rzadkim w polskiej literaturze przedmiotu (w której większość opracowań dotyczy kultury lub polityki), z drugiej zaś wpisuje się w nurt dyskusji na temat przyszłości regionów rozwijających się. Spośród wszystkich tych regionów świat arabski budzi najwięcej emocji, a islam postrzegany jest jako bariera rozwoju. Z tych powodów warto skoncentrować się właśnie na tym obszarze świata.
