Scores cluster high, so position within the catalogue is often more telling than the number alone.
Transferability / replicability2/3
Reform elements (anti-harassment law, guardianship reform, flexible work) have influenced GCC peers but the top-down monarchical model limits direct replication.
Impact on gender equality1/1
GASTAT-confirmed doubling of female LFP from 17% (2017) to 36.2% (Q3 2024) represents an independently verified and unambiguous structural shift.
Effectiveness1/1
The Vision 2030 30% LFP target was exceeded by mid-2021, six years ahead of schedule; the bar has since been raised to 40%.
Efficiency0/1
No independent cost-benefit analysis of the reform bundle has been published; expenditure per percentage-point gain in LFP is not in the public domain.
Evaluated outcomes1/1
GASTAT quarterly labour surveys, World Bank ILO modelled estimates, and HRSD annual reporting provide consistent multi-source outcome tracking.
Sustainability1/1
Reforms are codified in amended national legislation (not executive decree) and form part of the binding Vision 2030 plan through 2030.
Achievement / evidence1/1
Women's unemployment fell to historic low 10.5% (Q1 2025); women in senior/middle management rose from 28.6% to 43.8%; women own 45% of SMEs.
Gender-mainstreaming embedding1/1
Reforms span labour law, civil status, transport, entrepreneurship and security services, coordinated across HRSD, MoI, MoE and the Public Investment Fund.
Curator validation1/1
C-NAPSE verified figures against GASTAT bulletins and HRSD annual data; wage-gap and legal-score gaps are noted as ongoing limitations.
