Where does Qatar's labor force come from?

Qatar's labor force comes from South and Southeast Asian countries such as India and Pakistan.

From 20 1 1 to 20 15, Qatar's labor force increased by nearly one third, almost all of which came from South and Southeast Asian countries such as India, Pakistan and the Philippines, as well as other Arab countries. At present, there are10.6 million foreign workers in China, accounting for 94% of the national labor force, ranking first in the world.

In order to provide services to this huge group, the Qatari government is not without thinking. The Qatari government has set up a huge camp for foreign workers, which is said to be equipped with sports, entertainment and shopping facilities, and three hospitals specializing in the treatment of foreign workers are also under construction.

Qatar authorities believe that these facilities and the establishment of a wage guarantee system are practical measures to improve the situation of foreign workers. However, since these facilities are "specially" built for foreign workers, the significance of isolation may be further strengthened.
