Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani issued on Sunday a new law to nationalize jobs in the private sector.
The law will be effective six months after it is published in the official gazette.
This legislation aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030 and will facilitate strategic investments and create opportunities for employment and training for Qatari citizens, the Ministry of Labor said in a statement.
The law supports the Third National Development Strategy, which aims to effect a fundamental transformation towards a more productive labor market, focusing on high-skill jobs.
The Ministry said this transformation will be achieved by leveraging a highly skilled Qatari talent pool while also attracting foreign talents with advanced skills.
It noted that the law seeks to significantly increase the effective participation of the national workforce in private sector institutions and companies, opening up new employment and career opportunities for Qataris, thereby maximizing the utilization of qualified national competencies.
The law aims to encourage Qatari participation in the private sector, ensure job stability for national cadres, develop the professional skills of the national workforce, meet the labor markets demand for qualified personnel, and incentivize private sector companies and establishments to increase the participation of the national workforce, it added.
The entities subject to nationalization under the law include employers who are natural persons managing private establishments registered in the commercial register, commercial companies operating in the state, whether state-owned, state-participated, or privately owned, and private non-profit institutions, sports institutions, associations, and similar entities, it explained.
The new law also grants many benefits, facilities and privileges to those covered by the integration plan, it added.
More than 2.5 million foreigners live and work in Qatar, with about two million working in the private sector.
