القصّة
قبل
In 2017, roughly one in eight working-age Saudis looking for a job couldn't find one. For many young families, joblessness was the single most pressing daily concern.
المبادرة
Saudization programs (Nitaqat tiers), Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) wage subsidies, the Doroob training platform, and a wave of new private-sector openings from giga-projects, tourism, entertainment and finance.
النتيجة
By Q4 2025, Saudi unemployment had fallen to 7.2% — meeting the original Vision 2030 target several years early. The Kingdom has now set a more ambitious 5% goal for 2030.
للمواطنين
Fewer Saudis spend years searching for that first job. The benchmark for 'what good looks like' has shifted from 'any job' to 'a meaningful, well-paid career.' Job-search is now measured in months, not years.
