Qatar's slow progress blamed on Expat Labour
Unbelievable....Qatar's slow progress blamed on Expat Labour.
To quote from the Gulf Times Article:
A recent study has raised concern over the declining productivity rates in Qatar, saying that the low man-hour output constitutes a major challenge to sustainable development in the country.
The study... said that the average productivity per hour in the country had declined from 4.8% between 1990 and 2000 to 1.8% between 2000 and 2007, which the study blamed on the labour market policy.
“This is very low compared to what has been achieved by China (10.1%), Bahrain (5.13%), India (4.1%) and Oman (4.18%) in 2007,” ....
The study held the large numbers of the low-skilled expatriate workforce responsible for the low output per hour experienced by the country.
“What is alarming is that over half of the expatriate workforce (55.9%) are either uneducated or below secondary education level,” it said.
The study warned against the low participation by the national workforce in the private sector, “which has been in full control of the expatriate workforce”.
While the study estimated the participation of the national workforce in the public sector at 44.5%, it put their presence in the private sector at 0.60%.
“This actually means that 99.40% of the private sector jobs are manned by expatriate workforce,”

F'N bullshit, maybe try ...F'N bullshit, maybe try paying them more than 500QR per month & maybe you'll get more work out of them. For now, thats all you can get for 500...b!tch. The person who wrote this article sucks & shows what kinda retarded mentality he has. Not having education is not a sin, its a cruel fact many has to live with. There are numerous "educated" people working in qatar who knows nothing more than a cow.

I'd like to repeat myself: ...I'd like to repeat myself: there is no motivation to be more productive. You get the same salary. You are not the owner of the company. You have no rights. Why should you be more productive? Pay me 3 times my salary and I'll be 3 times more productive. That's the equation.

I blame it on bad companies.... ...I blame it on bad companies....who are in to make a quick profit....who come here with little experience....having no regular long term manager.....having no regular quality labour also.
These are the companies that thrive under the NOC & Sponsorship hood.
When these companies realize that they got everything wrong they flee...leaving all the work, machinery & manpower stranded....Pancaltica is one of many such companies.
Honestly Qatar has lost a lot of money & its prestige due to such companies. Mostly due to the fact they are still in the initial stage and learning from it. Its high time they look very deeply into this.

Yup /-a-t-/ jackmohan, These ...Yup /-a-t-/ jackmohan, These companies are much in its primary stages. Qatar needs to think long term, I know a lot of people who are getting paid peanuts considering their education & work experience.
Qatar needs to stop, gambling with employees about their salaries and need to set a standard across various industry sectors.
Without any motivation or comfort, employees will not remain loyal to their organization or their work. The concept of "taking care of their employees" is till in its infancy or better yet..non-existant.
At this rate, people including me will be looking forward to greener pastures, cause we know that the world has better offerings. (Let me save a bit now though :P). This leaves a gap, a loyal employee with say 3-5 years of exp, suddenly leaves and bam...gap in productivity.
Wake up Qatar!

The story is similar tro saudi... ...Low wages / benefits and the need for high profits by companies.
However, the Qatari population is quite small, so expat labour is a must.
