Kuwait's Ministry of Social Affairs has ordered cooperative societies and unions to identify and terminate employees aged over 67, as per local laws and regulations. The directive aims to regulate employment in the cooperative sector, facilitate workforce replacement, and create opportunities for younger, qualified Kuwaiti talent.
All affected employees must receive their full financial and employment entitlements. The Union of Cooperative Societies has been tasked with distributing the instructions to all societies, providing evidence of implementation, and submitting a list of employees covered by the decision within 30 days. This measure aligns with Kuwait Vision 2035, which seeks to transform the nation into a high-income knowledge-based economy by 2035.
