RIYADH, May 2 (Xinhua) --
Saudi Arabia planned to adopt a
decision, which bans males from
working in women-related product shops
in order to encourage more females
to get jobs, the Al Riyadh
newspaper reported Thursday.
According
to the decision, the employers who
continue to hire males, including sale
assistants and accountants in the
women- related product shops, will
face penalties.
As a result,
thousands of job opportunities will be
provided for females.
The
decision, which will be put in
practice in about two months, is
part of the Labor Ministry's
plan to integrate females in the
local market as 85 percent of
unemployed in the country are
women.
Some companies and shops
have entrusted the recruitment agencies
to look for proper female candidates,
according to the newspaper.
