Sector percentages

What percentage of Qataris must we hire?

The situation

The Ministry of Labour sets the percentage of Qatari employees for each sector through a national plan.

The law

  • Law No. 12 of 2024 on localisation of private sector jobs: Priority to Qatari job seekers, sector targets set by MOL, vacancy and biannual reporting, penalties

What it means for you

MOL will set the percentage of Qatari employees for each sector in a national plan that needs Cabinet approval. The sources we read do not give the numbers. Watch MOL announcements and prepare headcount data by role.

What to do

  1. Watch MOL for the national plan.
  2. Prepare headcount by role and nationality.
  3. Estimate the gap to likely targets.
  4. Plan hiring and training.
