KUWAIT CITY, June 13: In a series of strategic meetings, officials from the Public Authority for Manpower engaged with representatives from various business sectors, including banks, companies, and the industrial sector, to assess the feasibility of increasing the rate of Kuwaitization. These discussions are part of a broader governmental initiative to understand the obstacles hindering the implementation of higher national employment targets. According to sources revealed to Al-Rai, this initiative marks a shift in the government’s approach to Kuwaitization.
Instead of unilaterally imposing higher quotas, the government is now soliciting feedback from the private sector to identify challenges from their perspective. This collaborative effort underscores a genuine governmental desire to listen and adapt strategies based on sector-specific insights. During the meetings, no specific national employment targets were set.
Instead, the primary question posed to sector representatives was: “What prevents you from increasing the Kuwaitization percentage?” This approach acknowledges the varying Kuwaitization percentages currently applied across different sectors. Representatives from each sector provided detailed data on their current Kuwaitization levels and discussed potential opportunities and requirements for increasing these percentages. Sectors that fell short of the required percentages highlighted the challenges they face.
