This report by Oxford Strategic Consultants makes specific recommendations to increase the levels of participation by women in the GCC workforce. The major recommendation is that companies are set up in GCC countries to provide outsourced services (such as IT, call centre etc) to national and international customers whilst employing professionally qualified women working from home. In the West, home-working has gradually evolved from office and factory based working but the GCC has the opportunity to overtake these countries and enjoy the major benefits of home-working at a relatively early stage of development.
