The Population Policy of the State of Qatar 2017-22

Qatar’s Permanent Population Committee (PPC) felt the need to make a detailed assessment of its population policy six years after its launch in October 2009, especially after the rapid population growth in the State during that period. A population policy does not consist of a one-off action but is an ongoing process whose goals are altered according to the demographic reality of the State and whose actions are renewed according to the latest developments. Furthermore, coordination with the institutional framework of the State was important, especially to ensure compatibility between the demographic policy goals, the goals of the National Development Strategy, and other various national sector strategies, and to ensure compatibility with the Sustainable Development Goals 2030.
