State authorities are planning to reduce security, cleaning and handling laborers working in government projects by 25 percent.

Deputy director for the Public Authority for Manpower said that such coordination comes in view of the Cabinet’s related decisions, and stressed that various bodies expressed readiness to make the reductions as a step towards resolving Kuwait’s demographic imbalances and stop hiring expats without proper studies.

Meanwhile, the parliament’s replacement and employment committee demanded that government bodies create new jobs for Kuwaitis who are holders of undesired qualifications, especially those with intermediate school certificates, as they number 7,037 out of 12,000 unemployed people. Most recent statistics show that those with intermediate and lower certificates form the biggest group looking for jobs at the Civil Service Commission (CSC), most of whom are females, who number 5,912 out of the above mentioned 7,037.
