This thought-provoking study measures and critically examines the effects that an average\u00C2 population growth rate of 2.8% could have on the development of the Arab Gulf States.\u00C2 It\u00C2 questions the ability of Gulf governments to\u00C2 continue providing relatively high standards of\u00C2 education, health and employment under conditions of rapid population growth, an undiversified economic base, and a tribal political framework.\u00C2 \u00C2 Within this context, population growth is identified as one important variable that hinders long-term development.\nThe book will appeal to all those interested in the Middle East, demography, development and sociology. > This thought-provoking study measures and critically examines the effects that an average\u00C2 population growth rate of 2.8% could have on the development of the Arab Gulf States.\u00C2 It\u00C2 questions the ability of Gulf governments to\u00C2 continue h
