Abstract
When
one
thinks
of the
United
Arab
Emirates
,
one
may
picture
a
country
that
is
one
of the
richest
countries
in the
world
and has the
money
to
build
resorts
,
buildings
, and
tourism
destinations
. The
UAE
is
a
Middle
Eastern
country
, and has
Islam
as its
official
religion
.
When
some
think
of
Islam
and
women
,
images
of
oppression
and
strict
rules
may
come
to
mind
. This
extreme
view
is
not the
case
with the
UAE
,
because
they
practice
a
moderate
form
of
Islam
.
Even
though
they are
one
of the
richest
countries
in the
world
, this
does
not
mean
that
problems
do
not
arise
. The
biggest
issue
facing
the
country
is
the
influx
of
migrant
workers
, and this has
lead
to the
Nationals
being
the
minority
in their
own
country
.
Due
to this
problem
, the
Government
has
created
an
Emiratization
Strategy
to
get
more
Nationals
,
male
and
female
, into the
labor
force
. The
Emiratization
Strategy
is
one
that
benefits
women
greatly
in the
country
, and
shows
the
Government’s
commitment
to
women
being
contributing
members
of the
UAE’s
society
The
Emiratization
Strategy
focuses
on
education
and
labor
.
Over
the
past
years
,
women
have
made
large
strides
in
both
of these
areas
.
Looking
at
Government
programs
,
state-run
women’s
organizations
,
census
numbers
, and
surveys
,
one
will be
able
to
see
this. In
regards
to
education
,
women
in the
country
are
more
literate
than the
males
, and there are also
more
women
earning
higher
degrees
.
Women’s
enrollment
at
all
levels
of
education
has been
increasing
every
year
, and
Government
programs
and
women’s
organizations
also
focus
on
women
receiving
an
education
.
Over
the
years
,
more
and
more
women
have
entered
the
labor
force
.
Most
women
work
in the
public
sector
. This
means
that the
Government
is
their
boss
. The
private
sector
is
the
area
, in
which
,
female
and
male
Nationals
have the
most
trouble
working
.
Most
jobs
in the
country
are
private
sector
jobs
;
therefore
, the
Government
needs
to
do
a
better
job
with
encouraging
more
Nationals
to
work
in this
sector
.
Private
sector
employers
would
rather
hire
non
Nationals
, and
Nationals
would
rather
not
work
for them. These
employers
also, in
some
cases
, would
rather
hire
males
instead
of
females
. This
goes
back
to the
fact
that the
UAE
is
a
patriarchal
society
, and
some
views
like
this
occur
.
Nationals
also
feel
like
they will not
get
paid
as
well
if they
work
in the
private
sector
compared
to the
public
sector
. In
order
for
more
Nationals
,
specifically
more
women
Nationals
, to be
hired
in the
private
sector
, the
Government
should
make
sure
the
Nationals
know
all
the
facts
about
working
in the
private
sector
. They also
need
to
make
it
more
appealing
for them to
work
in this
sector
. The
Government
may
also
try
to
educate
the
foreign
companies
working
in their
country
on how to be
more
appealing
for
women
Nationals
. The
women
need
to
feel
comfortable
in their
work
environment
, and this
is
one
of the
main
problems
they have
working
in the
private
sector
.
It
can
be
seen
,
however
, that the
Government
wants
women
to be a
contributing
factor
in their
country
. They have
women
who
hold
Cabinet
positions
and
ambassador
positions
. There
is
no
reason
to
believe
that the
Government
will not
continue
with the
Emiratization
Strategy
and
provide
the
tools
to
women
to
reach
their
full
potential
.
