Women at Saudi Vision 2030 core
Saudi Arabia has made significant progress in empowering women and integrating them into various sectors of society, as part of Saudi Vision 2030. Women have achieved a substantial increase in their economic and social participation, reaching a participation rate of 36.3% in the labor market by early 2025, with the unemployment rate among women decreasing to 12.1%. Women have become pioneers in entrepreneurship, owning more than 774,000 establishments that constitute 43.8% of the total businesses. Their involvement has expanded into industrial, technological, and administrative sectors, as well as their representation in leadership positions and higher councils, accounting for 20% of the Shura Council. Additionally, higher education and scientific fields have been opened to women, with 22 patents registered in 2024. In other areas, women's participation in health, culture, and sports has increased, with women practicing sports at a rate of 44.6%. Furthermore, since 2019, women have been allowed to travel without the guardian’s permission, and steps are being taken toward empowering them in all aspects of life. This reflects a qualitative transformation in women's presence and influence within Saudi society.
