Bahrain Daily Tribune, 15 January 2024: Bahrain’s Shoura Council has approved amendments to the 2006 People with Disabilities Care, Rehabilitation and Employment Law, requiring employers in the public and private sectors to recruit more disabled people.

Under the amendments, employers with 50 or more employees will have to double their recruitment quota for disabled people from 2% to 4%.

The Labour Minister should also issue a Decree specifying the nature of roles and responsibilities for disabled people.

The aim is to help employers establish a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
