In a nutshell
- Qatar’s economic transition to a diversified, competitive, knowledge-based economy requires a workforce composed of competitive citizens and high-skilled expatriates.
- Developing a competitive national workforce requires that Qatar’s education system focus more on skills and citizens have access to upskilling opportunities throughout their careers.
- Attracting high-skilled expatriates requires paying them competitive salaries, providing them a measure of autonomy in their work, and creating opportunities to invest in the country.
- Creating a competitive private sector requires Qatari authorities to ensure that the skills of expatriate workers complement those of its national workforce throughout the transition.
