Ministry of Labour: 89% of workers benefit from labour laws, legislation
Gulf Times
Ministry of Labour
Qatar is constantly keen and always stresses that a safe and healthy work environment is a necessity, and that the safety of workers is a priority for it.
Qatar's efforts in this regard are not exerted to satisfy a particular party, states, individuals or organisations, but they are based on a religious, moral, humanitarian and constitutional standpoint, and in accordance with the authentic customs and traditions of its people, as well as their civilizational values in terms of generous hospitality.
Under the directives of its wise leadership, and before winning the honour of hosting the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, Qatar was keen to enact a lot of legislation and laws and carry out extensive reforms in the labour environment, in line with the highest standards in the international labour sector. There is no doubt that the pace of these efforts has increased and witnessed environmental reforms, and the labour market witnessed many positive changes that were praised by all concerned parties, especially the International Labour Organisation (ILO), which opened its office in Doha.
In fact, it is not possible in any way to enumerate all the reforms of the labour environment and market in Qatar over the past ten years, since Qatar won the honour of organising the World Cup in October 2010, as there are many reforms in various fields that have benefited hundreds of thousands of expatriate workers.
