The survey of 3,500 people aged 18-24 living in 16 countries in the Middle East and North Africa found a sharp decline in appetites for government jobs in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates) between 2012 and 2014 (see chart below).
