Abstract

Unemployment has spread in developed countries, causing pressure and concern on decision-makers. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was not isolated from this intertwined world. The relevant ministries sought to find solutions for this phenomenon and to reduce the unemployment rate through increasing the localization rate. Regulations and by-laws were issued in this regard, and supporting national programs were provided to replace the expatriate employee with the qualified national employee.

In this study, the researcher moves the jobs localization process from the conventional thinking to the modern thinking by presenting a suggested strategy for localization in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The researcher used the analytical descriptive method depending on previous researches and studies. He addressed the subject of this research in six themes. These themes are: Concepts and terms, the historical background of the recruitment of expatriate workers to the Gulf region, the reasons and motives of localization, the current governmental and private sector role in localization, the obstacles facing the localization process, and the proposed strategy.
