科威特立法限制外籍人士人数
同样面对本地居民就业需求增长，科威特将通过新的居住法，限制该国外籍人士人数。
科威特有超过400万人口，但70巴仙竟是外籍人士，该法试图将人数降至30巴仙的比例。
预计该法若通过，约有80万印度籍人士收到影响。科威特未来也将着重引进“技术”移民而非外籍劳工。
反观新加坡方面，原贸工部长陈振声，在本月2日上《联合早报》“报告选民”节目，指出调整外籍员工政策须考虑到企业可能面对的冲击，随意减少客工，将使得吸引外来投资变得困难。
他认为，若政府为高薪外籍员工设下限额，贸工部会很难争取到下一波的投资。“在短期内可能对国家没有什么太大的影响，不过我们的下一代就不会有更好的就业机会。”
