Saudi Arabia Abolishes 50-Year Kafala System | NEXT IAS

Saudi Arabia has officially ended the Kafala system, a decades-old policy that restricted migrant workers’ freedom and tied them to employers. This reform — part of Vision 2030 — impacts over 13 million migrant workers, including 2.6 million Indians, granting them greater rights, mobility, and legal protection. 🇸🇦✨ A historic step toward fairness, dignity, and modern labour standards in the Gulf. #saudiarabia #kafalasystem #vision2030 #labourreform #migrantworkers #indiansabroad #gulfnews #internationalrelations #globalaffairs #upsccurrentaffairs #placesinnews #beyondclassroom #nextias
