The UAE and the Middle East, in general, have one area that they
share in common and it also differentiates them from a considerable
proportion of the rest of the world. They have gained significant
international traction and made their names in only the last few
decades from an economic and business standpoint. This fact has
resulted in a considerable number of people setting up businesses
and coming to work from abroad.
The UAE specifically, has an expat population of close to 8
million. Expatriates make up over 80% of the entire nation. To live
in the country as an expat, one must obtain a visa through a job or
company. This case means that millions of posts are covered by
foreign individuals, which raises questions for the Emirati
nationals.
