What is the term used in Omani labor policy to describe the systematic replacement of expatriate personnel with qualified Omani nationals across public and private sectors?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Omanisation (Ta'meen)
- Step 1: Omanisation (Al-Ta'meen) is the longstanding national employment policy initiated in 1988.
- Step 2: It sets mandatory quota percentages for Omani citizens in various economic sectors (banking, tourism, engineering, oil & gas), backed by training and vocational upskilling programs.
Answer
Omanisation (Ta'meen).
Why not the others: 'Emiratisation' is the workforce localization policy of the UAE; 'Saudization (Nitaqat)' is the quota framework in Saudi Arabia; 'Nationalization of industry' implies state seizure of private assets, which is not workforce localization.
