Abstract
The oil‐rich economy of Kuwait is seriously assessing its labour market prospects. Like other Arab Gulf States, it is constrained by a small indigenous population and work force and suffers from critical shortages in manpower. Foreign labour and skills are the catalyst of their accel‐erated growth. The nationals represent about 40 per cent of the population and only 22 per cent of the country'swork force.
