Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development said it is working on “many initiatives” to develop the labor market and that decisions will be announced when they are ready, following a report that the Kingdom was working to abolish the Kafala system.
“In reference to what has been circulated about changes in the framework of the labor contractual relationship in the Kingdom, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development clarifies that it is working on many initiatives to organize and develop the labor market, and it will be announced as soon as it is ready. The Ministry calls upon everyone to obtain information from its official sources,” the ministry said in a statement on its Twitter account early on Wednesday.
