    • To analyze the implications of a high foreign national workforce on the Kuwaiti labor market.
    • To examine the occupational distribution of Kuwaiti males and its trends from 1970-1980.
    • To identify factors influencing Kuwait's demographic transition, beyond health and family planning.

    Main Methods:

    • Structural analysis of labor force data for Kuwaiti and non-Kuwaiti populations.

  • Comparative analysis of occupational trends between 1970 and 1980.
  • Assessment of state policies and social structure dynamics on demographic trends.

    • Main Results:

    • 62% of Kuwaiti males are concentrated in administrative and service occupations.
    • Kuwaiti males showed a decline in sales and production work between 1970-1980.
    • Demographic transition is hindered by social structure, land reforms, and governance, not solely health policies.

    Conclusions:

    • Reorientation of education/training and shifts in attitudes towards manual labor are crucial for 'Kuwaitization'.
    • Balancing the national and foreign workforce requires addressing occupational imbalances.
    • Socio-economic reforms and responsive governance are key to advancing Kuwait's demographic transition.
