The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs noted a decrease in the percentage of foreign workers registered in its data until mid-May of this year, while revealing the fraud of foreign oil companies to provide the Ministry with the numbers of workers and the amount of wages they receive.
The Ministry's media advisor, Kazem Al-Atwani, told Al-Sabah: What is rumored about the presence of millions of foreign workers is inaccurate information, but their numbers exceeded hundreds of thousands, the majority of whom are of Syrian and Bangladeshi nationalities who infiltrated Baghdad and the provinces through the Kurdistan region, along with varying numbers of workers. Other nationalities, such as Pakistanis, who entered the country on a tourist visa during religious visit seasons.
He added that there is a desire by companies in the private sector to register their workers, especially after the adoption of the Social Security Law, but foreign oil companies operating in the country are still circumventing the Ministry’s oversight committees in terms of concealing the exact numbers and statistics of foreign workers compared to the numbers of national workers, and In terms of salaries and amounts granted to foreign workers compared to nationals.
Al-Atwani pointed out that joint committees from the Ministries of Labor and the Interior are carrying out extensive campaigns on a daily basis on various projects and economic activities for the purpose of monitoring illegal workers for the purpose of deporting them and taking legal measures against violating project owners and imposing financial fines on them.
He continued that the private sector resorts to unskilled foreign workers, and this is against the law, which is reflected in high unemployment rates among young people and graduates of all specializations.
