The Committee For Regulating Demographics Is Evaluating A Package Of Decisions

Currently, the National Committee for Regulating Demographics, led by the First Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, Sheikh Talal Al-Khaled, is evaluating various decisions intended to facilitate the entry of young people into the private sector.

According to reliable sources, the committee is taking a number of steps to curb visa trading, eliminate irregularities in commercial license issuance, eliminate the inclusion of non-Kuwaitis in commercial shop licenses, and encourage citizens to operate businesses with their licenses.

It is intended to take strict measures to prevent the inclusion of commercial shops for expatriates, which is already illegal.

In order to attract young men to this sector, the committee has explored all potential employment opportunities in the private sector.

Moreover, plans are in place to enhance services for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), inspiring young people to foster creativity and develop their ideas.

The sources confirmed Kuwaiti youth's desire to secure a share of the workforce through government contracts and their facilities. The recruitment of workers for these contracts will not be allowed to increase unjustifiably.

One proposal is to diversify the job market across various sectors, thus reducing overreliance on a single nationality. Furthermore, the conditions and qualifications needed for specific roles will be set to ensure specialization and prevent unqualified individuals from occupying positions, ultimately enhancing the efficiency of the private sector workforce.

Campaigns will be launched against fictitious companies that hire surplus workers without a genuine need in the private sector. Under-the-table employment increases as a result of such practices, disrupting the demographic composition.

In preparation for their eventual elimination and accountability, such companies will gradually increase violations.

In addition to encouraging foreign investment, rebalancing the demographic composition, reducing shop rents, encouraging Kuwaiti youth to launch private ventures, and safeguarding tenants from shop owners, the anticipated decisions are expected to have positive effects. These measures will also contribute to enhancing Kuwait’s international and global ranking.

The Kuwaiti Commercial Registry Law No. 18 of 2018 prohibits anyone registered in the registry from enabling others to exploit their registration. Furthermore, it is prohibited for individuals to use commercial registries they do not possess, to falsely indicate registration, or to use incorrect registration data on store fronts or documents.

It does not affect the right to use names or trademarks arising from international trade contracts, technology transfer agreements, concession agreements, or international agreements valid in Kuwait. Non-commercial use of trade names is strictly prohibited.
