Minister of Labour HE Dr Ali bin Samikh Al Marri has highlighted that preparing a workforce ready for future challenges is a key focus of Qatar’s National Development Strategy. The strategy aims for a transformative shift towards a more productive labour market that prioritizes highly skilled jobs. This came in a speech made by Dr Al Marri during the 7th Abu Dhabi Dialogue (ADD) Ministerial Consultation between Asian labour-sending and receiving countries, held on Feb 10-11, 2024 in the UAE, with the participation of a number of Gulf and Asian countries and international organizations.
Dr Al Marri explained that the Ministry of Labour is collaborating with both local and international partners to modernize the labour market’s regulatory framework and enhance information systems. This is being done by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to back policies grounded in solid evidence related to the labour market. The objective is to boost productivity and aid in the development of a competitive and sustainable economy. (QNA) page 2
