Abstract

The article analyzes the experience of the development of labor resources in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The country is a member of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Persian Gulf (GCC), which are characterized by high dependence on labor migrants, a large number of young people under 25 years old, and a low share of women's involvement in economic processes. Nevertheless, the experience of Bahrain is characterized by a unique approach to improving the quality of human capital. The multi-level principle of interaction between the state, society and business is embodied in the creation of the Tamkeen company, whose main goal is the development of national labor resources.
