ANNEXED NOTE

1. Characteristics of data and definitions

Kuwait’s Labour Market Information System (KLMIS) was developed by the Central Statistical Bureau (CSB), in collaboration with relevant other government agencies.

KLMIS’s Integrated database, updated on a quarterly basis, tabulates basic data on nationals’ and foreign migrants’ employment, taken from four administrative sources:

the Civil Service Commission (CSC) (public sector’s statistics);

the Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) (public entities which are not included in the Civil Service Commission records);

the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) (statistics on workers in the private sector);

Ministry of Interior (MoI) (domestic workers).
