This thesis explores the status of socio-economic development in the Arab region. The region lags behind other developed nations in many important indicators such as literacy, life expectancy, years of schooling, and importantly, gender equity. This thesis explores the problems that face Arab countries such as political and economic uncertainty and instability, employment rate, quality of life, and life expectancy. Selected indicators have been grouped into three dimensions: human development, gender equity and quality of life. Using identifiable Arab countries as the unit of analysis (N = 22) this research uses descriptive statistics and OLS multiple regression to provide an analysis of secondary data in the pursuit of three hypotheses regarding (1) human development, (2) gender equity, and (3) quality of life for all the 22 Arab countries. GDP was statistically significant for all my outcome variables except urbanization. Fourteen Arab countries had a GDP below one hundred billion, thus the lack of prosperity clearly effected human development such as life expectancy and gender equity such as sex ratio, as well as educational attainment, and quality of life such as the unemployment rate. Type of government was statistically significant for fertility and literacy, indicating that the more stable monarchies in Arab region do better in term of lowering fertility and increasing literacy rates.
