Changing Demographics In Kuwait Is Urgent - Kuwaitis Must Work In Cooperatives

Sheikh Talal Al-Khalid, the first deputy prime minister, interior minister, and deputy defense minister, announced a number of decisions related to the work of the Committee for Amending Demographics and Developing the Labor Market immediately after its first meeting, reports Al-Qabas daily. He announced that the committee would begin working on demographic and labor market imbalances immediately. He approved the executive regulations of draft Law 74 of 2020, which calls for organizing demographics. It will be submitted to the Council of Ministers, which will also take the demographic composition into account and call for urgent measures to be taken.

Additionally, the committee reviewed the presentation made by the president of the Union of Consumer Cooperative Societies on Kuwaitization, which encourages Kuwaiti nationals to join cooperative societies by understanding Kuwait's needs.

The committee has issued a decision obliging cooperative societies to soon Kuwaitize all senior and supervisory positions, in addition to raising the percentage of workers in cooperative societies, which allows creating about 3,000 job opportunities for Kuwaitis in the cooperatives sector by offering good salaries and financial incentives, in addition to creating opportunities for retirees on the board of directors in the advisory capacity.

The committee also issued a decision assigning the Public Authority for Manpower, in coordination with the private sector, to prepare a program that includes specialized training projects that focuses on qualifying and empowering Kuwaitis to work in the private sector and enhance their capabilities and encourage and support national employment. Furthermore, sources told the Demographics Committee that a special smart application bearing the name "Kuwait visa" might be activated to implement Kuwaitization, organize entry visas, and ensure that all procedures that precede entry to Kuwait are valid.

Through the 'my identity' application, sources said, there is a tendency to add the capability of verifying the identity of the worker, the validity of his residency, and the validity of his profession data. The worker can be verified by anyone using him to eliminate marginal labor by verifying his identity.

According to sources, the Public Authority for Manpower, together with the Civil Service Commission, was tasked with motivating citizens to work in the private sector through a platform dubbed 'Our Pride'. It is reported that the Minister of Interior stressed the importance of following up on the procedures that have taken place and issuing new assignments during the next meeting.
