Tamkeen, the Kingdom of Bahrain has taken vital steps towards a labour market reform which is an essential stride to ensure that the human capital of the country is developed and that employment is made more attractive for localization as well as to improve performances of businesses. The strive towards labour reform will impact the Kingdom’s economy and raise standards of living as well as pose a challenging commitment to the improvement of services in Bahrain.



Tamkeen is a semi-autonomous yet independent authority which formulates strategic and operational plans to use the fees collected by the LMRA in order to enhance the overall prosperity of Bahrain by investing in Bahraini employability, job creation, and social support. The labour reform is the first of these reforms to be initiated and is now the responsibility of two entities. The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) and Tamkeen will be working hand in hand with other institutions and organisations in order to realize the vision that has been set forth to create the long-term prosperity the Kingdom plans to achieve.
