Culture

Identification. Residents of Qatar can be divided into three groups: the Bedouin, Hadar, and Abd. All three groups identify themselves as Qatari and their right to citizenship is not challenged, but subtle sociocultural differences among them are recognized and acknowledged.

Linguistic Affiliation. The official language is Arabic. English, Farsi, and Urdu are widely spoken. While many Qataris speak more than one language, it is very rare for immigrants to learn Arabic.

Classes and Castes. The primary axes of social stratification are the nationality and occupation. The practice of hiring foreign workers has created a system in which certain nationalities are concentrated in particular jobs, and salaries differ depending on nationality. The broadest division is between citizens and foreigners, with subdivisions based on region of origin, genealogy, and cultural practices.

the bilateral labor agreement between Filipino and GCC govts

Summaries

Providing Un-skilled Labor overseas will create more disadvantages to our country. The income generated is far less beneficial in view of International Human Rights and our Nation’s dignity.

By improving the skills of our workers at home, we will increase their bargaining power to negotiate for a better working condition and remuneration and ready to be sent abroad

Summaries

STOP sending unskilled workers
