Uber Again
One of Uber's biggest investors is Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia doesn't like its women to drive automobiles. Technology and money have merged to provide a quick fix to keep Saudi women off the road. U.S. News And World Report wrote an article the impact of the Saudi investment in Uber.
One of the interesting sidelights of the article was Saudi Arabia's efforts to get more women into the labor force. Currently about 16% of Saudi women are in the labor force and the government would like to get 30% of the women jobs in the paying economy.
In contrast the United States about 57% of the women in the country are in the paying economy.
Different systems different results. I wonder what the United States would be like if only 16% of its women worked outside of the house and had paying jobs?
