Expats Working In The Public Sector Increased By 4 Percent In 2016
Official statistics showed that expats working in the public sector increased by four percent in 2016. According to the statistics, the number of expats increased by 3,900, to make the total number rise to around 100,000; a rate that is seen to be contrary to state plans to ‘Kuwaitize’ public posts.Â

212 percent increase. Other statistics showed that 20 percent of these expats hold undergraduate degrees, 38 percent of them are ‘bachelors’ and that their average monthly wages are KD 691, while Kuwaitis get an average of KD 1,470 - 113 percent higher than expats.Â
