Abstract
The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) has collaborated with the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) and the Bahrain Insurance Association (BIA) to introduce the Optional Insurance System for Domestic Workers starting from 4 August 2021. This system is designed to provide insurance coverage for domestic expatriate workers and safeguard the interests of both employers and employees in the event of any unforeseen incidents. The objective is to ensure adequate protection and support for domestic workers and their employers by offering optional insurance coverage. This initiative aims to enhance the overall welfare and security of domestic workers in Bahrain.
