Muscat: Oman’s Ministry of Labour plans to employ 40 per cent of job-seekers by the end of this year, and up to 85 per cent by 2022.
Dr Mahad Ba’owain, the country’s Minister of Labour, said the recent Omanisation decisions would help create these employment opportunities, with the private sector expected to take in 70 per cent of Omanis seeking work, and the government sector the remaining 30 per cent.
“These decisions are based on Oman Vision 2040, the country’s 10th Five-Year Plan, labour market challenges, and the government’s strategy toward digitisation,” the minister said.
