Two important draft regulations that will improve Kuwait's demographics have been approved by the Demographics Amendment Committee. Kuwaitization of government contracts and electronic lease contracts are the goals of these regulations. They both have the potential to enhance the management of data and the tracking of the country's population.

In addition, the committee has evaluated an initiative to create a national platform for labor market data. An examination of the legality of the electronic labor contract project has been assigned to the Public Authority for Manpower in coordination with the Fatwa and Legislation Department. In addition, the committee is developing a plan to reduce the proportion of foreign workers in government contracts with the Ministry of Finance and the General Secretariat.

During a meeting led by Sheikh Talal Al-Khaled, the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, who heads the Committee to Adjust the Demographics and Labor Market Development, these decisions were made. Meeting objectives included monitoring the committee's progress and discussing demographic issues.

He thanked the committee members for their tireless efforts in addressing Kuwait's demographic and labor market imbalances. Specifically, he stressed the importance of aligning with the objectives outlined in the executive regulations of the Demographics Law, which benefit Kuwait and its people. Kuwaiti youth must be provided with employment opportunities as soon as possible, according to him.

Among the topics discussed at the meeting was an assessment of the current population structure and its challenges. It also explored strategies for enhancing the labor market and expanding employment prospects for young individuals. Furthermore, discussions focused on achieving equilibrium across different sectors and ensuring sustainability.

A review of recent economic and social developments as well as their potential impact on demographic composition and labor market requirements was also included in the meeting. Lastly, there was a focus on strengthening vocational education and training to ensure that educational outcomes align with the evolving needs of the labor market.

Kuwaitization of government contracts and promotion of Kuwaiti employment
A draft regulation aimed at Kuwaitizing government contracts has been approved by the committee. This initiative is designed to incentivize young people to seek employment in the private sector and enhance job security for workers engaged in government contracts. Additionally, it is expected to boost national employment and create new job opportunities within government contracts.

In order to swiftly implement this draft regulation, the committee has given the "Workforce" the responsibility of completing the necessary procedures to present it to the Council of Ministers.

Kuwaiti citizens will be offered employment opportunities within government contracts as a result of this regulation. It also places an obligation on contractors to offer national workers enticing employment benefits, which may include health insurance, annual travel allowances, and a structured salary scale.

Review of the National Data Platform
A comprehensive review of the proposed initiative aimed at establishing a national labor market data platform was conducted by the committee. This platform is set to serve as a critical foundation for organizing academic sector outputs and aligning them with the evolving requirements of the labor market.

This initiative aims to provide real-time data on the labor market and population movements. Additionally, it will create a solid foundation for the development of mechanisms and legislation aimed at enhancing and organizing the labor market. A pivotal role is expected for this forward-looking initiative in improving labor market insights and facilitating informed decisions.

Electronic Lease Contracts and Streamlining Rental Agreements approved
An electronic lease contract project has been approved by the committee, marking a significant step towards improving data quality and organization. This project aims to catalog the residences of individuals within the State of Kuwait, while also exerting control over the rental process across commercial, investment, and residential real estate, ensuring the compliance of both parties involved in the contract.
An important benefit of this project is the precise documentation of lease contract durations, which will be associated with licenses. This linkage serves to guarantee that property owners adhere to the state’s laws and regulations.
Furthermore, the project will present contract data in a secure electronic format that is resistant to tampering. The responsibility of launching this project within six months lies with the Public Authority for Civil Information. Kuwait's electronic lease contract project aims to improve efficiency and transparency in the rental process.
