Abstract
The report recommends a series of measures to raise private sector employment for nationals: • reduce the availability and attractiveness of public sector jobs and provide incentives for nationals to seek private sector jobs; • improve educational and training systems to enhance the skills and productivity of GCC workers; and • liberalize the internal mobility of foreign workers and use wage subsidies to help reduce the wage differential between nationals and foreign workers.
