If the Chinese are right when they say that women hold up half the sky, we may be in for trouble in the UAE.
It is well known that there is a serious gender imbalance in this country, thanks largely to the armies of imported construction workers needed to help build the nation’s skylines.
Construction and real estate are the UAE’s largest employers and, while there is no shortage of females in real estate, it would be a head-turner indeed to see a woman in one of those Ashok Leyland buses hurtling between the dusty building sites of Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
