Kuwait ranks second in Arab world in remote work

Kuwait is ranked second in the Arab world and 49th globally in the Circle Loop index, which specializes in measuring remote work, during 2021, ahead of developed countries such as the United States, which ranked 52nd globally, and China, which ranked 53, reports Al-Qabas daily.

According to the index, Kuwait scored 50 points out of the total components of the index, which included the average internet speed and cost, which came at $84.8, in addition to the monthly rent for one room, which amounted to $890.

The index relies on ranking countries on a set of methodologies, including average fixed broadband internet speed, countries that allow working holiday visas, acceptance of immigrants, and average cost of rent for a one bedroom apartment.

Meanwhile, a governmental study issued by the National Center for Development Research indicated that the application of the distance work model is a new trend that began to grow more rapidly after the Corona crisis, and we have seen how this method has achieved benefits for everyone alike, as individuals and as non-states. It still contains some negatives that need to be developed.
