Authorities in the UAE have uncovered more than 400 cases of fake Emiratisation within the private sector during the first half of 2025. These cases involve companies signing contracts with UAE nationals without leading to actual employment, highlighting ongoing challenges in implementing the Emiratisation program.
Key Details of the Discovery
- Companies created false documentation to meet government quotas.
- Contracts with UAE nationals were signed but did not result in real jobs.
- This undermines the integrity of employment policies aimed at offering better opportunities for UAE citizens.
Impact on the Private Sector and Future Actions
The private sector is now under increased scrutiny to ensure compliance with Emiratisation laws. Authorities plan to:
- Intensify inspections of businesses.
- Impose stricter penalties on violators.
- Promote genuine job placements for Emirati nationals.
These efforts support the nation’s goals for a sustainable workforce and the successful implementation of the Emiratisation program.
