A Study on Saudi Female Development: Based on Social Structure Perspective

Zixuan Zhou

Abstract


Women are an important force in the overall social structure, and the improvement of women’s status is a manifestation of the progress of human civilization, but the problem of women’s development is still serious in many regions. In Saudi Arabia, gender inequality has become a persistent problem in the socio-political and cultural structure, and women have been marginalized for a long time and their basic rights have not been guaranteed. Saudi Arabia is currently undergoing an important social transition,with important changes in the social structure and the transformation of the Saudi economy into a diversifi ed one, which inevitably requires the participation of women. The need for modernization in Saudi Arabia brings opportunities for the protection of women’s rights, and the traditional social structure will be a major obstacle to women’s development for some time to come.
