Abstract

This paper reports on the views that woman graduates have about their career prospects, and the expectations and challenges they experience between their work and personal lives. The purpose of this paper is to address the research gap on Saudi women graduates and to demonstrate how gender, work, and family factors influence the career advancement of these graduates. In order to explore and describe these factors a structured survey was conducted using a random sample from a database of the Alumni of one private university in Saudi. By exploring and describing the destination of female graduate leavers and understanding the reason for women’s (un)employment, we aimed to unfold the underlying challenges, constraints and barriers for Saudi women to enter the workforce
