The face of the Emirati workforce is undergoing a sea change with women stepping up to the plate and holding senior positions.
This is not only due to governmental, parental and domestic support, but also because private companies are becoming more inclined to hiring women graduates as opposed to men.
Dr Maitha Al Shamsi, Minister of State and Chairwoman of the Marriage Fund, was recently quoted by UAE's official news agency, WAM, as saying that Emirati women have become a significant contributing factor towards the nation's growth and development.
It seems like the UAE work force is generally heading in the right direction. By contrast, just came across an article on how the situation with the work force is KSA is still basically a disaster.
