Expats over 50 to be terminated by March 1

The Civil Services Commission (CSC) of Kuwait has received instructions to terminate all expatriate government employees aged 50 and above effective as of March 1, 2016, said well-informed sources, explaining the decision includes all nationalities. The sources also explained that the decision includes jobs that can be done by Kuwaitis listed on long government employment waiting lists.

Responding to a question whether the decision includes expats working in the judiciary, medicine and education, the sources said that expats would remain in jobs with special nature as the government had noticed that the numbers of expat government employees aged 50 and above are much more than the 20,000 citizens with university, medium and lesser degrees who are on employment waiting lists.
