But none of these policies addresses the fundamental challenge facing the Kingdom – namely, the gradual erosion of its wealth (indeed, Saudi Arabia is expected to become a net energy importer by 2030). Given many economic sectors’ lack of competitiveness and the inadequacy of the educational system, the Saudi population – 70% of which is under 35 years old – will experience skyrocketing unemployment in the coming years.
但这些政策都不能解决沙特王国所面临的根本性挑战——即其财富的日渐销蚀（事实上，到2030年，沙特阿拉伯预计将变成净能源进口国）。由于许多经济部门缺乏竞争力且教育体系不完善，沙特人口——其中70%不到35岁——将在今后几年经历爆发式失业潮。
