Saudi Arabia experienced a consistent increase in its working-age population from 56.1% in 1990 to 71.7% in 2019. This growth, partly due to high birth rates and a young population, supports Saudi Arabia's economic goals in sectors like labor and development. Although the growth rate leveled off slightly after 2019, with the percentage remaining around 71.2% in 2022, maintaining employment opportunities will be crucial as the country seeks to leverage its demographic advantage.
