Labor Market Authority

The Labour Market Authority aims to lead qualitative transformation and regulate the national labour market by empowering national talent, supporting employment opportunities and sustainable development, and strengthening economic and social balance and equity. The Authority operates in accordance with the highest standards of efficiency and institutional integration, with informed governance of data, legislation, and initiatives, including the classification and organization of labour market and national workforce data and statistics. The Authority also supports job seekers in accessing private-sector opportunities and contributes to reviewing labour market regulations and proposing amendments where needed.

Nature of the Labour Market

The labour market is characterized by an urgent need for regulation and continuous development to keep pace with changing conditions. The Authority’s efforts in this market focus on achieving a balance between supply and demand and managing the substitution of national labour for foreign labour, amid challenges that require absorbing the outputs of the education and training system to mitigate unemployment. The market also requires regulating the residency of expatriate workers, while supporting employment opportunities in the private sector as well as small and micro enterprises. Accordingly, the market constitutes an environment that requires a primary source of accurate data, information, and statistics to support effective planning.
