SaudiArabia's government is working hard to increase women's workforce participation from 22% to 30%

What’s the workforce participation of the country’s men? And of those on a payroll, how many are actually acting in ways that we in the rest of the world would describe as working, as opposed to swanning in after the staff have been hard at it for most of the day, drinking a cup of coffee, giving a few orders that are ignored, then swanning off hours early on the days they bother to come in at all?

#1  When I was there (25 years ago), the government had embarked on a huge "Saudiization" program. They simply listed job titles for which they would not renew foreign visas the next year.

The problem they ran into, frankly, was that Saudis didn't like to work.
