    During the 15-month period, the number of expatriates who joined the labor market exceeded 1.62 million. Among them 1.43 million men and 197,000 women.

    It was revealed in the monitoring that the Saudi unemployment rate recorded its lowest historical levels in the fourth quarter of 2022, due to the continuous employment of citizens and residents in the last 15 months.

    The monitoring was based on the data from the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI), the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MoHRSD) and the National Information Center (NIC).

    It is noteworthy that the total number of foreign domestic workers in the Kingdom reached 3.6 million by the end of 2022, including 2.63 million men, most of whom are house drivers, servants and house cleaners, while the number of domestic workers reached 972,000.

    During the past few years, Saudi Arabia announced the localization of workers in several economic sectors, as part of the Kingdom’s efforts to reduce the unemployment rate to 7 per cent by 2030, as part of its vision to diversify sources of income and reduce dependence on oil.

    Abu Dhabi: More than 10,500 United Arab Emirates (UAE) citizens have joined the private sector in the first three months of 2023.

    The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation announced an 11 percent increase in the number of UAE citizens joining the workforce compared to the first quarter of 2022.

    The latest additions bring the total number of Emirati employees in the private sector to more than 66,000 in more than 16,000 companies.

    “The UAE works on economic development through public-private partnerships and is keen to implement targeted measures to enhance the role of Emiratis in the job market, particularly in the private sector,” MoHRE said in a statement.

    “We are expecting a stronger rhythm of employing Emiratis in the next two months as the deadline for achieving the 1 percent semi-annual Emiratization target for private sector companies with 50 employees or more will be June 30, 2023,” it added.

    The five sectors that showed growth were construction— 14 percent, commerce and repair services— 13 percent, manufacturing— 10 percent, business— 10 percent and financial brokerage— 4 percent.

    By January 1, 2023, companies with more than 50 employees must have ensured that at least 2 percent of their employees are UAE nationals as part of a government campaign to encourage more nationals to enter this sector.

    Any employer who fails to reach the target will have to pay a fine of up to Dirhams 73,446 (Rs 16,41,709) for each Emirati worker who fails to hire him.
