The study aims to solve the problem of the reluctance of Saudi youth to work in the private sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This has led to an increase in the unemployment rate, and in how to find solutions that reduce the unemployment rate among Saudi citizens. This can materialize by increasing the percentage of the localization of jobs in the private sector. The study relied on the questionnaire tool following the application of appropriate measurement and consistency tools on a sample of (5102) single males and females in all regions of the Kingdom. The results of the study found out that the axis of "general environment" is the main reason for the reluctance of the Saudi youth to find employment in the private sector. The study calls for the need to reconsider wage systems to comply with the changes of the times and to intensify efforts to Saudize private sector jobs. As well, it recommends the development of human resources arrangements in the private sector and to work for the fulfillment of job security for young Saudi cadres.
