Abstract

Women and minors enjoy particular protection under comparative labor laws for both humanitarian and social reasons. This protection comes with certain positive outcomes at economic and social levels. Nevertheless, this particular protection is not yet sufficient as it seems to be in theory more than practice due to its variation from one legislation to another. These differences are present despite the attempts and recommendations of the International Labor office (ILO) for its members to take its recommendations into consideration and to incorporate it into their national laws as an attempt to unify labor law.
Variation of these rules is even found within a single jurisdiction like the case in Iraqi Labor law and that of Kurdistan. Hence, in this paper we present the rules of Bahraini labor law concerning working women and minors in comparison to labor laws in Iraq and Kurdistan in order to examine the characteristics of each of these laws and their variations.
