  • Oman needs to create 220,000 new jobs by 2032

    Oman needs to create over 220,000 jobs by 2032 to meet workforce demands, says the IMF. With many nationals entering working age, reliance on public sector jobs is no longer sustainable. Private sector roles are mostly filled by expatriates due to wage gaps and skill mismatches. Low female participation and education misalignment add to challenges. The IMF urges stronger vocational training, gender inclusion, and wage reforms to boost national employment in the private sector.

While older generations may not see this as an issue, the disconnect creates challenges in workplaces reliant on traditional interaction methods. Gen-Z’s growing workforce presence and openness about mental health are pushing organisations to adapt communication and support strategies to better address these needs.
