Saudi Arabia's population as of July 2006 is estimated to be about 27,019,731 including about 5,756,076 resident foreigners. Some cities and oases have densities of more than 1,000 people per square kilometer (2,600\miles). Saudi Arabia population is characterized by rapid growth and large cohort of youths.

In my opinion the major problem In Saudi Arabia is finding jobs. This problem happen in order to high growth of foreign residents.In 1985 the number of foreigners was estimated at 4,563,000, with a total foreign work force of 3,522,700. In 1990 the number of foreigners had risen to 5,300,000. A goal of Saudi planners continued to be a reduction in the number of foreign workers. This may help to insure more jobs for Saudi people
In general, employment opportunities for Saudi women are limited. The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that the unemployment rate for women in 2001 was 9 percent, compared with close to 4 percent for men, and opportunities for women are concentrated in the education and health services sectors. Literacy rates for women are also much lower that those of men. Some 67 percent of women 15 years and over are literate, compared with 84 percent of men.
