Labor market imbalances

For his part, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for Planning and Development, Dr. Khaled Al-Mahdi, said in a press statement on the sidelines of the signature that the government has submitted an integrated project to the Human Resources Committee in the National Assembly to draw up a roadmap towards reforming labor market imbalances, whose effects will be reflected in modifying the demographics in the country.

Mahdi added that the Tamkeen document initiative is a major part of the program and project set by the Kuwaiti government and consists of several stages, the most important of which is the existence of an international system that applies international conditions and standards to approve the recruitment of workers into the country in what is called (the smart system).

He explained that the smart system works to improve the quality of the expatriate workers coming to the country and to ensure that those workers brought by the State of Kuwait meet international standards. Mahdi pointed out that the initiative’s first launch lies in introducing recruitment agencies and applying international standards to them before the entry of workers into the country, in addition to their contribution to promoting fair employment during labor markets.
