Secretariat Prepared Specific Measures To Restore Population Balance

The secretariat said the reason behind the increase in the number of expatriates compared to citizens during the years between 2010 and 2014 is the increase in dependence of labor market especially the private sector on expatriate workers.

The secretariat has prepared specifi c measures to restore the population balance in favor of national labor force such as allotting maximum period of residence for expatriate workers and increasing the period of residence based on educational qualifi cations.

The measures also include reducing the number of marginal and unskilled workers and placing restrictions on bringing domestic workers. There will be also restrictions on monitoring and evaluating workers necessarily required by companies and projects.

Those implicated in visa trading will be punished. In the same context, Secretary General of Higher Council for Planning and Development Dr Khaled Mahdi affi rmed that the population structure has a strategic priority as it contributes to the economic model that Kuwait has adopted
