Kuwait’s Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) has introduced new measures allowing individuals aged 60 and above, with a secondary school certificate or lower, to transfer their residency from family sponsorship (Article 22) to private sector work residency (Article 18). The change, aimed at streamlining procedures for business owners, aligns with existing regulations for employer transfers. Additionally, PAM has permitted workers previously registered under government contracts to transition to private sector employment, provided their contracts have ended and both their current and prospective employers approve the move. Meanwhile, the latest labour force statistics for 2024 indicate that 31,391 job seekers have registered in the national labour sector across various educational levels. Among them are 27 PhD holders, 629 individuals with a Master’s degree, 17,927 with a bachelor’s degree, and 6,805 diploma holders. The figures also include 823 job seekers with intermediate-level qualifications, 83 with vocational or parallel education, and 408 classified as below intermediate, alongside others with specialized training or work experience.
