Apart from that due to the unprecedented change of the mindset of the young people living in these countries to get a better future for themselves and also make their society a livable place has stimulated the growth in a positive way as well. Where earlier the mass population of the rural areas coupled with the illiteracy rates, underemployment was the main reasons which are drawing back the country backward now with this activism of the youth the scenario is changing fast and showing good results as well.
This is the reason where in the earlier of this century these countries fail to produce even a single female entrepreneur now the same countries is showing a stiff increase in the percentage of Female entrepreneurship in the Middle East.
