Population Imbalance Problem Arrived By Increasing No.of Expats
Secretariat General of Higher Council for Planning and Development has attributed part of the population imbalance problem to the arrival of a large number of expatriate workers for execution of mega developmental projects in the country.
It stressed that the reform process should focus on bringing to Kuwait only those who can add value to the country.
Statistics of the Secretariat General for Planning affirms that the policy for population structure which it has put in place aims at reducing the rate of increase in number of expatriates from 3.5 percent, which is the annual average rate between the years 2010 and 2014, to about 2.4 percent during the development plan period until it reaches 2.2 percent by 2020.
This means the growth rate will be reduced by half. Based on the needs of the second development plan, the estimated increase of labor force will be about 68,317 individuals per year until 2020.
