Description
Millennial Dreams in Oil Economies provides an in-depth analysis of job-seeking experiences among young people in Oman, a nation heavily dependent on oil revenues. Crystal A. Ennis explores how millennials navigate employment opportunities while confronting structural economic constraints and evolving global labor markets.
The book situates individual career aspirations within broader contexts of state policies, international economic trends, and social expectations. Ennis examines how young Omanis balance traditional values with modern ambitions, revealing tensions between government employment initiatives and private sector realities.
Through ethnographic research and socioeconomic analysis, this study illuminates the lived experiences of a generation facing uncertain economic futures. It contributes to understanding youth employment challenges in rentier states and offers insights into labor mobility, education-to-work transitions, and economic nationalism in the Middle East.
