  The middle classes in Arab countries

  Transformations, issues and socio-economic changes - comparative approaches

  L'accroissement du chômage des diplômés de l'enseignement supérieur, et de l'endettement, l'expansion de l'économie parallèle, la corruption galopante et la mauvaise gestion, la précarité touchant de plus en plus des franges différentes de la population ; sont tous autant de facteurs poussant encore plus fort vers une différenciation sociale inégalitaire.
