ANNEXED NOTE

 

1. Technical Notes and Definitions

 

Data do not include employees in the security and military sectors.

 

No metadata available. The administrative records used as a source of data is unmentioned.

 

The original dataset’s title (“Manpower in the Public sector during year 2020”), likely refers to Civil Service’s employees.

When compared to the results of GAStat Labour Force Survey (LFS) for Q4 of 2022, the totals of foreign workers in the “public” sector (43,027 in 2022, see table) were closer to the LFS’s figures of foreign workers in the Civil Service (44,065), than to the figures of foreign workers in the government sector (158,000). It is thus likely that MHRSD’s figures of workers in the “Public” sector are referring to Civil service workers.

Saudi and non-Saudi workers subscribing to the Social Insurance (GOSI) and working for the public sector (non-civil servants) are thus not included in the figures of workers in the government sector.

 

Education levels in the original dataset were grouped according to the ISCED 2011 classification of education levels.
