Abstract: Saudi Arabia scored 4.00 (out of 10) in the GCPI, placing it in the “Emerging” band of the Index. Its limited maternity protections and lack of provisions for flexible working arrangements or dependent care leave contributed to its low score in Sub-Index A. Its relatively better performance in Sub-Index B is due to the introduction of Resolution No. 310 in 2012 which provided basic legal protections for domestic workers. Nevertheless, enforcement of labor protections for migrant domestic workers tends to fall short of the minimal provisions in its laws. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch highlight a significant policy-practice gap.
