In theory, if done correctly and applied to those who can fill the work slots, will be a wonderful addition to this country. If done incorrectly, ie, hiring just because you are Qatari but have no qualifications..can bring your country to a skreeching halt.
As Tweetybird mentioned..take a look at American's Affirmative action...hire enough minorities to fill the "quota" whether they are skilled or not, didn't work, doesn't work and won't work. Hire minorities because they ARE skilled and have the qualifications, and yes, it will work and work very well. Teach those that are willing to get down and do the work. If you hire someone who doesn't do their job then fire them. This needs to be applied to the Qatarization as well.
As far as Qataris being lazy...I beg to disagree. I know a few at my hubby's work that do more than a lot of the other expats. Plus their knowledge of how to manage the people here, is priceless. Its in any nationality...so don't generalize on nationality or race...there's bad apples in every barrel...
I just hope that with the Qatarization..it doesn't go so wrong that they throw the baby out with the bath water.
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
