4.4% Private Sector Employment Sparks Concerns In Kuwait
Given the public sector’s limitations in accommodating new job opportunities and the economy’s challenge in employing 300,000 young individuals entering the labor market in the next decade, creating a robust private sector becomes imperative. This sector must actively generate job opportunities for citizens, a feat achievable only with government support. This support can take various forms, including tenders, workforce development, and labor assistance.
The percentage of Kuwaitis working in the private sector, which amounts to only 4.4% of the total number of employees in that sector, reflects shocking and alarming figures. This data indicates citizens’ reluctance to work in the private sector and their preference for government jobs. The total national employment in the private sector stands at about 72.3 thousand employees out of 448.8 thousand citizens working in both the private and public sectors.
The numbers indicate that there are more than 377 thousand Kuwaiti employees in the government, constituting a burden on the state budget and posing a real crisis that may worsen without a radical solution.
Al-Qabas highlighted the private sector’s role in employing Kuwaitis, especially as their percentage in the private sector is shockingly low and does not align with Kuwait Vision 2035. It met with several specialists to discuss this issue.
