dc.description.abstractSaudi Arabia – an oil-rich rentier state, receives a large number of guest workers, and they were maintained under the controversial Kafala system. Recently, Saudi Arabia announced to abolish this system to come into effect in March 2021, but excluded domestic workers. Such observations show that there are political-economic incentives for the authority in abolishment apart from the humanitarian ground. Again, the current regime is willing to reduce its dependency on oil by diversifying its economy. Crown prince Mohammad Bin Salman announced massive reform plan – “Saudi Vision 2030” – to bolster FDIs and develop the public sector and service industries, where they need skilled labourers and experts to run their economy, where Kafala is not suitable. In this context, this paper would like to follow the political economy of migration policy as an analytical framework to provide a political-economic analysis of Kafala abolishment in Saudi Arabia by looking at the current transformation and Kafala abolishment.en
dc.description.abstractArabia Saudyjska, państwo utrzymujące się z dochodów pasywnych z wydobycia ropy naftowej, która jest jego bogactwem naturalnym, przyjmuje rzesze zagranicznych pracowników, objętych kontrowersyjnym systemem kafala. Niedawno Arabia Saudyjska ogłosiła zniesienie tego systemu ze skutkiem w marcu 2021 r., jednak z wyłączeniem pracowników domowych. Poczynione spostrzeżenia dają podstawy do przypuszczeń, że decyzja władz o zniesieniu tego systemu podyktowana była względami polityczno-ekonomicznymi, niezależnie od pobudek humanitarnych. Jest to kolejne przedsięwzięcie obecnego reżimu, obliczone na zmniejszenie zależności od ropy naftowej poprzez dywersyfikację gospodarki. Następca tronu, książę Mohammad Bin Salman, przedstawił szeroko zakrojony plan reform – „Wizja Arabii Saudyjskiej w 2030 r.”, którego celem jest pobudzenie bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych oraz rozwój sektora publicznego i usługowego, wymagający wykwalifikowanych pracowników i ekspertów do zarządzania gospodarką, którzy powinni funkcjonować poza systemem kafala. Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu są ekonomiczne założenia polityki migracyjnej w ramach analizy polityczno-ekonomicznych aspektów uchylenia systemu kafala w Arabii Saudyjskiej przez pryzmat obecnej transformacji i uchwalenia zniesienia systemu kafala.pl
