Bahrain has launched a new initiative aimed at reducing unemployment levels by replacing high numbers of expatriates with nationals.
The new programme aims to place 35,000 well-educated Bahrainis with high skill levels in positions currently held by qualified expatriates and to train 150,000 nationals with high school degrees to take up entry level positions in the private sector.
The official unemployment rate in Bahrain stands at 3.5%, although the actual figure is believed to be much higher.
