Job Localization in Saudi Arabia: Article 35 Enhances Development and Sustainability

The thirty-fifth article of the Saudi labor system represents a key pillar in ongoing efforts to enhance the job localization policy and encourage employers to hire national talents. According to this article, the ministry is committed to regulating and monitoring job localization in the national market, possessing the authority to take legal actions if employers violate specified standards.


Article 35 explicitly states that, in case of an employer breaching the standards set by the ministry for job localization, it has the right to refuse to renew the work license. This reflects the Saudi government's commitment to balancing the labor market and ensuring employment opportunities for citizens.


This measure aligns with supporting the national economy and promoting effective Saudi participation in the job market. By imposing penalties on violators, the ministry contributes to strengthening compliance with local employment policies and motivating companies to hire national talents.


This article is considered an effective means to achieve the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, aiming to stimulate the economy and enhance citizen participation in development. This action embodies the excellent balance between attracting national competencies and promoting competitiveness in the Saudi job market.


In conclusion, Article 35 of the Saudi labor system emerges as a vital tool in encouraging employers to adhere to local employment policies, contributing to economic prosperity and achieving sustainable development.
