Nearly 250,000 expats left Kuwait in 2021. Of them, 205,000 were working in the private sector, 7,000 were with the public sector and 41,200 were domestic workers, according to a report published by Al Qabas newspaper.
This has resulted in severe shortage in some professions, an issue that got worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic and the suspension of recruiting expats.
According to the report, the private sector suffered a significant decrease in number of employed, while government departments were unable to attract national labour to fill the jobs.
Meanwhile, the number of Kuwaitis joining the labour market has increased by 23,000, with most of them joining the government sector.
