37 Section 2e FUTURE PLANS AND EXPECTATIONS

38 Summary When asked about their plans in the next 12 months, more than half (53%) of those surveyed plan to look for a better job in the same industry, while a considerable proportion are willing to go even further to improve their circumstances, by either looking for a better job in a different industry or by looking for a better job elsewhere in the Middle East (31% and 25%, respectively). Those in the UAE were the least likely to look elsewhere in the Middle East (12%), while those in Algeria, Tunisia and Oman were most likely to follow this plan (51%, 46% and 41%, respectively). Almost half of those surveyed (48%) expect salaries to increase in the next few months. 1 in every 4 (23%) expect salaries to stay the same, while 20% expect salaries to decrease. Those in Lebanon and Jordan were most likely to expect salaries to stay the same (36% and 35%, respectively). Among those who think salaries will increase, the majority (63%) believe these will be mostly driven up by inflation/ rise in the cost of living, followed by growth in opportunities and economic growth in their country of residence (30%). UAE residents were the most likely to believe salaries will be driven up by growth in opportunities (41%), while those in Lebanon and Jordan were most likely to expect salary increases would be driven up by inflation/ increased cost of living (77% and 74%, respectively). Over half (56%) of those who believe salaries will either decrease or stay the same, attribute this to poor economy or declining oil prices. This sentiment was most accentuated in Oman, Algeria, Qatar and Lebanon (72%, 70% and 65%).
