KUWAIT CITY, May 8: The Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) has announced that the regulation for Kuwaitization of government contracts has entered into force, reports Al-Seyassah daily. The regulation consists of 43 Articles that will contribute to encouraging young people to work in the private sector; especially since it enhances job security for employees under government contracts, in addition to creating more career opportunities for national professionals to gain practical experience and develop technical skills while achieving continuity, development and transition between these contracts. The regulation is one of the mechanisms of a project to raise the proportion of national employment in non-governmental agencies. PAM organized four introductory meetings to explain the regulation and present aspects of cooperation with Kuwaitization units in order to clarify the content of the regulation, its objectives and the implementation mechanism.

PAM also nominated a number of members to the Kuwaitization committees in various government agencies to guarantee the successful implementation of the regulation. These committees shall identify and organize the necessary jobs and responsibilities in each government agency in accordance with the regulation. The implementation of these regulations is expected to curtail opportunities for unskilled and unqualified workers in the labor market while minimizing violations. Initial steps are crucial for the effective implementation of the regulations, with plans to expand their coverage to include contracts across various entities to further increase the proportion of national workers.
