    Figures from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development declared that the number of Saudis who had a freelance employment document amounted at 631,518, since the inauguration of a licensing program in 2019, up by 86 percent.

    Al-Eqtisadiah newspaper quoted the ministry as saying that “People registered in 2021 so far have reached 292,315, while 282,766 citizens were registered in 2020.”

    A consultant who advises small and medium enterprises in the Kingdom, Rana Zumani, was quoted as saying that a license to practice one’s skills or use one’s craft paved ways to opportunities.
