Authorities in the UAE have uncovered over 400 cases of fake Emiratisation in the private sector during the first half of 2025. These cases involve companies that officially sign contracts with UAE nationals but fail to provide genuine employment opportunities.
About Emiratisation
Emiratisation is a government initiative designed to increase the employment of UAE nationals in private companies. The program aims to boost workforce nationalization and contribute to the country’s economic development.
Issues Discovered
Investigations revealed some companies are falsely registering UAE nationals on paper to fulfill Emiratisation targets without actual job placements. This fraudulent practice undermines the policy’s intent and limits true employment opportunities for UAE nationals.
Government Response
- The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has initiated strict measures to identify and penalize offenders.
- Efforts are focused on ensuring genuine employment for UAE nationals.
- Authorities are actively monitoring the private sector for any further violations.
Impact and Future Actions
Experts emphasize that this issue threatens the integrity of Emiratisation policies and the meaningful participation of UAE nationals in the private sector workforce. The government’s continued crackdown reflects its commitment to maintaining authentic national employment and economic progress.
