Rapid technological advances and global economic changes resulting from technologicaladvances and global economic integration are causing difficulties in maintaining theemployability of large segment of Arab population including Gee labour force. At thesame time, new forces are creating new opportunities for increased economic growth andemployment. However, it is the level and quality of a country's labor skills that arebecoming the critical factors in taking advantage of the opportunities and minimizing thesocial costs of globalization. In this work, globalization has been addressed in its relevance and the directimpact imposed on the labor force, including productivity, competition and emerginglabor markets. Gee countries are being presented as the case study for this dissertationand were analyzed in the context of security and socio-economic stability, attributed tosocial and economic problems that has been escalating decades ago and have not beenaddressed properly. The MENA region and Gee although they both vary in their GDPlevels but are similar that they both lag behind on the globalized scale! The MENAregion's economy and labor structure were highlighted within the context of labormigration to the Gee and contemporary challenges of globalization. Projections concerning future labour force demand imply that economic growth inGCC countries could fail to generate enough jobs to accommodate new national entrantsto the labour markets in the next five to ten years. Hence the expansive 'womb to tomb"welfare system will not be able to continue to meet the expectations of the nationals inthe contemporary area of globalization and the fall oil revenues. Considerable proportionsof oil revenues have been invested to establish a welfare state that caters not only to thebasic needs of the average citizen but also to the unlimited demands of a population withcontinuously rising expectations. The dissertation has pointed out to a major point of great importance, is thatpolitical security cannot be achieved apart from economic and social security. Economicand social security constitutes the main pillar anchoring a political security. Economicand social security are related to the State's ability to provide minimum living standards(economic and social) for members of the society in the manner, which improves theirquality of life. Thus, comprehensive development of the society in terms of advancingquality of life is a key indicator of the economic and social security. To achieve political,economic and social security in the GCC, its implementation must be based on two basicpreconditions as follows: material and human resources challenges imposed by social andeconomic structure. The paper validated the challenges and impacts of globalization onthe socio-economic structure of the GCC countries, pointing out to the interdependencebetween both the socio-economic dimension and the security of the GCC countries.Several examples, discussion methods and figures were generated to support thisassumption.
