“…Based on the findings reported by Roberts and Skoufas (1997) on how growth rate is related to employment, there was correlation between the individual producers' employment response and the estimates of wage elasticity. Other studies such as those of Flaig and Steiner (1989); Hazledine (1981); Disney and Kiang (1990) handled wage in order to explain the level of employment. They reported that this relation is explained based on the wage type whether nominal or real and the system of wage bargaining.…”

“…Thus, one of the researchers' main areas of concern was investigating the correlation between economic growth and unemployment. For instance, studies like those of Flaig and Steiner (1989); Nickel (1986); Disney and Kiang (1990) focused on the significance of mingling the expatriates into Saudi market of labors. According to Hazledine (1981); Salter (1960), Oster (1980) and Ibrahim (2012), employment is significantly determined by the growth rate.…”

The objective of this paper concentrates on determining the relationship between unemployment and economic growth in Saudi Arabia for the period 2000-2015 in order to explanation of the employment, unemployment level and its determinants to increase the employment level and avoiding the harmful effects of unemployment problems. The question to be raised is does recruitment rely on the public sector? Does the creation of job opportunities in the state's public sector have a negative or positive effect on the private sector through the effect of withdrawing its specialized technical cadres? Is the private sector growth real or illusive? Is the economic growth adequate to reduce the unemployment rate among Saudis? The results obtained show that, there are a positive relationships between the employment and real income, real investment, real government expenditure and real value of exports. On the other hand, there are negative relationships between employment and the real value of imports. The economic growth was not adequate in reducing the unemployment rate among Saudis. There is a reversal relationship between unemployment rates and the economic growth which does not effectively work in the Saudi economy. Saudis prefer to work with government sector not in private sector; Government must stimulate Saudis to work in private sector. This paper used the annual data from

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThis paper follows up recent work on the relationship between (un-)employment and wage effects of social security financing undertaken by the OECD Jobs Study. Based on a simple macroeconometric model of the labour market, I investigate whether the peculiar OECD results for Germany on the incidence of social security contributions and taxes also hold up within a somewhat different model. The study also provides some policy simulations to answer the topical question whether increasing indirect taxes to finance a reduction of the contribution rates to social security levied on employees and employers in Germany. The main result of the paper is that there is in fact a positive short-run employment effect of a revenue neutral switch of financing social security expenditures by increasing indirect taxes and reducing employers' contribution rates, but in the longer-term only modest effects remain due to higher wages.
