Demography, migration, and labour market in Qatar

Authors Françoise DE BEL-AIR
Description
In 2013, Qatar ranked second worldwide in terms of per capita GDP. This is due to its huge endowment in hydrocarbons and the small size of its national population, the smallest in all GCC countries. Exploiting the resources and channeling them into ambitious development policies required massive imports of foreign labour. The country's total population has quintupled since the mid-1980s; moreover, foreign nationals made an estimated 85.7 per cent of all residents and up to 94.1 per cent of all employed population in 2013. The awarding of the 2022 FIFA World Cup to Qatar in December 2010 turned the spotlight on the country's dilemma regarding the 'number vs. rights trade-off' issue: Qatar has one of the most constraining kafala systems in the region. Paradoxically, however, demographic data also indicate that a growing share of foreigners live with their families, give birth in the country, and intermarry with Qataris. The strict separation between nationals and migrants could thus start slowly eroding.

Qatar's legal framework of migration

Authors Maysa ZAHRA
Description
Over the last decade, Qatar has significantly revised its legal framework in a number of areas that are relevant to the issue of migration. The revision has led to the establishment of rules and regulations that better conform to international standards in areas such as labour rights and human traf- ficking. However, Qatar's controversial kefala (sponsorship) system is still a source of concern. This note offers researchers a succinct outline and summary of Qatar's legal framework on migration. The system of migration-related legislation in the State of Qatar includes the Constitution, international treaties concluded, national laws and by-laws.

Arab Gulf States : recruitment of Asian workers

Authors Ray JUREIDINI
Description
This paper addresses a neglected area in studies of migrant labor in the Gulf States showing that exploitation of migrant workers occurs before deployment. Evidence from interviews conducted in the five major labour sending countries to Qatar (Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and India) suggests that the recruitment procedures and corrupt practices by recruitment agencies and employing company personnel in the receiving country place unskilled workers in a highly vulnerable position prior to departure from their home countries. As a consequence of practices such as deception, false promises, substitute contracts, bribery, and extortion, there is evidence of debt bondage, forced labor, and trafficking within the normative framework of labor migration. Reform measures that are currently underway in Qatar include the banning of workers paying recruitment fees and charges to agents.

Evaluating financial literacy training for migrant workers in the gulf

Authors Ganesh K. SESHAN
Description
We randomly assigned invitations to a savings-focused financial literacy workshop for married migrant Indian workers in Qatar on work contracts. Via surveys of migrants as well as their wives remaining behind in India, we provide a unique window into financial decision-making in transnational households. Migrants with low savings are most responsive, increasing their own savings and the remittances sent to their wives. They are also more likely to engage in joint decision making on money matters with spouses back home. From a practical standpoint, these results suggest that financial literacy interventions have a real potential to change migrant financial behaviours and are particularly relevant for temporary migrants in aiding them to maximise the accumulation of savings during their period of stay abroad.

World Population Policies Database

Description
Since the mid-1970s, the World Population Policies Database, last updated in 2015, provides comprehensive and up-to-date information on the population policy situation and trends for all Member States and non-member States of the United Nations. Among several areas, the database shows the evolution of government views and policies with respect to internal and international migration. The migration strand covers internal migration, immigration, emigration, and return. The Database is updated biennially by conducting a detailed country-by-country review of national plans and strategies, programme reports, legislative documents, official statements and various international, Inter-governmental and non-governmental sources, as well as by using official responses to the United Nations Inquiry among Governments on Population and Development.

Migrations de diplômés, circulations professionnelles, relation au pays d'origine : le cas du Liban

Principal investigator Kamel Doraï (Coordinator)
Description
Ce projet vise à analyser les mobilités étudiantes et professionnelles libanaises, à comprendre les dynamiques globales qui les sous tendent, autant que les stratégies de ce nouveau type de migrants. Il s’inscrit dans une réflexion plus large sur les processus de mondialisation des marchés et le développement de carrières professionnelles à l’international. Centré sur le Liban, il cherchera à comprendre les spécificités de la situation libanaise, et les ressorts particuliers de l’hémorragie de jeunes diplômés dont souffre ce pays, en s’interrogeant sur la place particulière qu’occupe ce pays dans la région moyen-orientale, et sur la relation entre diaspora et pays d’origine. Le programme de recherche s’organisera sur deux axes, fortement articulés : le premier axe sera centré sur la formation et les mobilités étudiantes, et les projets de carrières, et les trajectoires sociales des étudiants et sur les mobilités socio-professionnelles et cherchera à en comprendre les déterminants ; le second axe s’intéressera à la relation entre les expatriés libanais et leur pays d’origine, à travers les circulations, la fréquence des allers et retours, les formes de communication, le degré d’implication dans la vie sociale et politique libanaise. Réalisé à l’occasion d’une coopération franco-libanaise, ce programme associera des recherches menées en France, au Liban, et le cas échéant dans les pays arabes voisins, le Golfe, ou d’autres pays d’émigration, comme l’Australie.

Global Migration Barometer

Description
Western Union commissioned the Economist Intelligence Unit to compile a migration index that ranks 61 countries by how attractive and accessible they are for migrants (the Global Migration Barometer), with a separate assessment of their need for migrants. The Economist Intelligence Unit developed the methodology behind the index, collected the data and scored the countries, with input from Western Union and an independent panel of migration experts. The index has been produced for 61 developed and emerging markets using a standard analytical framework. The model used to generate the index employs indicators that reflect the standard of living and economic development of a country, legislative policy and attitudes towards migration, and demographics and social welfare commitments. Many of the 32 indicators used to generate the index are based on quantitative data and have been drawn from national and international statistical sources. The others are qualitative in nature and have been produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit. Each of the indicators has been adjusted and weighted to produce a score of 0 to 100, where 100 represents the highest attractiveness, accessibility or need for migrants.
