Manama: Bahraini males and females express differing preferences for particular jobs.
Women are more likely to be driven to refined careers showing preferences for teaching, accounting, administration, retail and secretarial jobs.
Men, on the other hand, tend to take up occupations that are less regarded in society, such as security guards, drivers and retail sales assistants, reports our sister paper Akhbar Al Khaleej.
Meanwhile, figures released by the Social Insurance Organisation (SIO) revealed that eight per cent of Bahraini women chose to work as secretaries, 7pc as shop assistants and 6pc as telephone operators and receptionists.
More Bahrainis work in Saudi Arabia than do Gulf nationals in Bahrain. Bahraini workforce in GCC countries prefers Saudi Arabia due to its close proximity to the kingdom, according to SIO report.
