Is it sustainable to think that Emiratis, which make up only about 15 percent of

the people in Dubai, can be leading the city as they have been for so long?
Yes, the ability to actually operate globally gives the Emiratis certain advantages that make
them sustainable. The variety of its workforce, which spans more than 160 nations, is viewed
as a distinct strength by the Emirates Group. Emirates holds that brilliance is not
nationality-exclusive and that the unique strength of the workforce is the diversity of the
world's nations, cultures, faiths, and ethnic origins. They take the shape of a consistent flow
of original ideas, ingenuity, and ways of thinking that are then put into practice and lead to
business success. The Emirates Group, which is one of the Emirate's initiatives, offers a range
of alluring perks to overseas recruits who want to reside in Dubai. For instance, news from
Astro Awani said that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) established a comprehensive strategy
to strengthen the country's economy and loosen onerous immigration laws for ex-pats last
year in commemoration of its 50th anniversary. The UAE has a new visa that makes it
possible for anyone to work there without being sponsored by an employer. It might be
difficult to qualify as a long-term resident. Employees holding the new "green visa" can now
work independently of their employer. The "green visa," a new residency system that
separates the residence permit from the work permit and lays the burden of residence on the
employee rather than the employer, was introduced by the UAE. A 10-year "golden visa" was
announced by the UAE earlier in 2019 as the first scheme of its kind to entice affluent
individuals and exceptionally gifted professionals. The UAE is stepping up its efforts to help
foreign nationals. The case study asserts that it is crucial to hire exceptional workers who
benefit from living and working in Dubai.
Dubai is guaranteed equal and safeguarded human rights under the constitution of the United
Arab Emirates. Also, it ensures that everyone will be treated equitably, regardless of their
financial status, place of origin, or ethnicity. Families of foreigners residing in the United
Arab Emirates (UAE) will be allowed to join them, according to the Federal Authority for
Citizenship and Identity (ICA). The United Arab Emirates News Agency released this
(WAM). According to the cabinet resolution, foreigners or expatriates are permitted to bring
their family members (wife or husband, son under the age of 18, and unmarried daughter) to
live in the UAE with them as long as the family's monthly income totals AED3,000 and the
employer provides housing or receives a housing allowance of AED4,000. The sponsor of
each family member is required to provide proof of identification, an address, and active
health insurance. Each member of the family must apply for identification. The move,
according to Saeed Al Rashidi, Director General of Foreign Affairs and Ports at ICA, aims to
safeguard the well-being of international personnel working in the UAE. A report on the
results of the execution of the measure was also ordered by the Cabinet. A valid marriage
certificate, an Arabic translation of a child's birth certificate, and evidence of monthly income
are required for each application. The UAE government has set office hours for federal
agencies and ministries throughout the holy month of Ramadan, which is another indication
that it is concerned about the human rights of its workforce. According to the statement,
government organizations will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through
Thursday, and from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, Friday. According to the new decision, 40% of
the personnel will be permitted to work flexibly on Fridays, which would benefit government
employees. The example study, which claims that despite Arabic being the official language,
English is widely spoken and has replaced Arabic in social and economic situations, also
illustrates this predicament.

2. Integrating 160 different nationalities into one corporation, such as The

Emirates Group, has challenges and opportunities. What challenges do you see?
What opportunities come from this diverse workforce?
The issue of employee communication is one of the difficulties that must be faced while
working for a firm like The Emirates Group. Yet, every employee's first language is English.
There are still those employees, though, who struggle to communicate in a language other
than their own. One organization has personnel from 160 different countries, making it
difficult for them to comprehend anything that is spoken. Work will be slower when staff
can't communicate with one another. When workers experience issues with communication,
even job performance may suffer. The ability to communicate is crucial in several
professions. If employees have communication issues with both society and their coworkers,
work cannot flow properly.
Working with 160 different countries presents additional difficulties due to cultural
differences. We need to comprehend certain ideas that exist in every society. Employees find
this challenging because they each hold different opinions. In order to prevent insulting one
another, workers should learn to appreciate one another's cultural traditions. For instance,
members of the Muslim faith never interact with people of the opposite sex and constantly
cover their private areas. Workers who do not practice Islam should be aware of this and
constantly be cautious in how they conduct themselves. They ought to appreciate one another
and be more cognizant of those workers who practice religions other than their own. Then,
international employees must abide by the politics and laws of the country they are working
in. To prevent employee conflict, organizations must modify their organizational rules and
procedures to accommodate international workers from different nations. This is to maintain
excellent connections inside the business. It will take a lot of work to make sure that the
organization's rules are appropriate for personnel from other nations.
Employees working for a firm like The Emirates Group will experience difficulties due to
economic reasons including regional economic disparities. Every time the Emirates Group
firm makes an investment in a nation with unstable economic conditions, it will incur
significant losses. The company's investments and purchasing power will be impacted by
this. For instance, when there is inflation, workers' wages decline while the prices of the
majority of goods and services rise. In order to avoid operating losses, the firm has to develop
a new strategy, and one of the steps it would take is to cut its workforce. Employee job loss is
a significant possibility. In addition to the difficulties faced by employees, businesses like
The Emirates Group also have possibilities. The business has invited several nations to
collaborate with it. Foreign employees who desire to work in industrialized nations like
Dubai have more job options. When working overseas, their employment prospects and
salary are also extremely valuable. When a corporation offers several options for foreign
employees to add energy to the organization, many communities seize the chance for
employment. Businesses may use it to locate high-quality personnel from a variety of nations.
The firm benefits from having a diversified staff, which enables The Emirates Group to
constantly have a flow of ideas, creativity, and thinking patterns. Each employee, regardless
of their country of origin, has their own attitude. This will boost the diversity of innovative
suggestions or viewpoints from each person to create a good or service. Also, workers from
these various cultures will encounter various ways of thinking and conducting business. For
instance, timeliness at work is highly important to the Japanese. This enables other workers to
model themselves after the Japanese people and learn a strong work ethic. The business will
also have the chance to make clients from other nations more comfortable, particularly while
talking. Consumers from other countries may not speak English well and may feel better at
ease utilizing their native tongue. Hence, businesses may take advantage of this chance to
diversify communication by adopting languages from many nations. The presence of a
translator will make customers feel more at ease because it will be simpler for them to
communicate and ask inquiries. Also, clients will be more inclined to recommend the
business's goods and services to others.
 3. If you lived in a city with such a diversity of people as Dubai, would you
assimilate yourself with the people who are like you, or would you try to
integrate into the overall community of all people?
Assimilation is the process through which foreigners, immigrants, or inferior groups become
invisible in the society of a dominating nation. In the end, technology can only conform to the
social conventions that are already in place. Yet, integration just entails enhancing the current
culture. only where society is altered and improved. As a result, Dubai is a country with a
diverse culture and many aspects that are foreign to our own, including fashion, cuisine, and
other aspects. We believe that we will most likely adapt to society. This is due to the diverse
cultures and customs that exist in Dubai's larger population. Due to the diversity of the
population in Dubai, no one will be able to dominate and everyone will value peace and
respect for others. Even their shared tradition, culture, and religion.
It is beneficial to mix with society in a large metropolis like Dubai. We can learn about their
way of life, which is why. We will be able to learn more about the city and enjoy Dubai's
diverse population in this way. Integration can also help us comprehend whether or not
various cultures founded on tolerance and respect can coexist peacefully. For instance, males
speak for women in Dubai, where the society is predominately male. Integration with them
will enable us to comprehend their culture and provide us with the tools we need to transform
it.
Yet in a place like Dubai, where there is such a wide variety of individuals, we are more
likely to associate with those that look like ourselves. This is due to a number of variables
that encourage our integration or assimilation into society. We are all aware that the majority
of people in Dubai are Muslims. Hence, one of the biggest barriers to integration is religious
diversity. When interacting with people who think one religion is better than another,
someone who is accepting of all religions may find it difficult. Not only that, but language
itself could be a barrier to communication. This is so because the majority of people in Dubai
speak and communicate in Arabic. As a result, it will be challenging for us to communicate
with the big populace due to the language barrier.
As a result, they must adopt local customs and integrate fully into society once they have
completed the process of assimilation. This integration has demonstrated that immigrants
who arrive with knowledge and experience can integrate into the culture of their nation and
find favor in their new community as contributing members of society. Integration merely
implies limitations. when an equation is used to define it. Yet in this case, equality makes a
nation responsible for embracing other cultures as equals, even if it goes against its own
traditions and ideals.

4. Compared with 10 years ago, expatriate employees stay twice as long in Dubai,
about five years, before they return to their home country or another foreign
location. Do you think more expatriates will stay longer in Dubai as the city
continues to develop into a world-class location?
According to me, more foreigners will stay in Dubai for longer than they did in the previous
10 years. They do this because they think Dubai is a safe and secure place. 97% of the
population feels safe in the UAE, according to a YouGov poll conducted by The National.
Dubai has an extraordinarily low crime rate; in fact, in the five years prior to 2018, the city's
serious crime rate has decreased by 38%. Violence and aggressive crimes like kidnapping and
rape have considerably declined, as have drug cases and robberies. In addition, the Dubai
Police is renowned for being extraordinarily proactive when it comes to criminal offenses
that directly jeopardize the safety and security of the nation, such as cybercrime and drug
trafficking. Dubai's way of life is nonetheless dynamic and modern despite this. This is due to
the UAE's median age, which is around 30.3 years old. In addition, Dubai is among the
nations where women are the safest. This was demonstrated in 2018 when Dubai was
declared the safest city for women in the Middle East. A New World Health research claims
that crimes against women including sexual assault, slavery, and exploitation, as well as
general assaults on women like physical assaults and acid attacks, can go unchecked in this
nation. Since Dubai is so safe, many foreign women prefer to live alone there. Also, there is a
slight possibility that a woman will experience harassment while traveling alone, staying at a
hotel, or using a cab.
The fact that Dubai offers a lot of work options will also keep foreigners there. The sources
consulted by dangangnews.com (2021) indicate that the UAE would have 9.99 million
residents overall in 2021, including ex-pats. The majority of the 8.84 million total expatriates
in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Philippines,
Iran, Egypt, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and China, accounting for 89% of the total population. Just
11%, or 1.15 million, of the UAE's population, are nationals, and the majority of them work
in Dubai's economy, which is dominated by foreigners. Owing to this population, Dubai
needs more foreign workers because their own residents are insufficient to sustain and
manage their economy, especially because Dubai is one of the nations that is expanding
quickly.
Also, due to their increased technical expertise, expatriates will remain in Dubai for longer.
Dubai, which was the first country to use the Robocop robot system, is one of the most
advanced countries, in keeping with its objective of being a smart technological city. The
technical robot is around 1.5 meters tall, weighs 100 kilograms, and can communicate in six
different languages in addition to being able to interpret facial expressions. In order to make
it simpler for residents to pay fines or submit reports that will be sent directly to the police
department, this robocop has a tablet computer mounted to its chest. Robocop will be used in
Dubai starting in 2030 to replace a quarter of all police officers. Nonetheless, it has been
found that this robot is used at Dubai's hospitals and commercial centers. Furthermore,
according to some accounts, Dubai's police will employ "hoverbike" technology. Publications
have also claimed that Dubai's police will use "hoverbike" technology. The police will be
able to more easily access sensitive locations during searches thanks to the deployment of
hoverbike technology. It is apparent that expatriates will stay in the city for a very long time
due to Dubai's proficiency in maximizing the use of technology.
Dubai is also renowned for its extremely quick expansion in terms of its economy, city
development, facilities, and entertainment. The previous ten years have seen them working
extremely hard to improve their city. As a result, their city has grown incredibly well in
comparison to earlier years. As they depend on these expatriates to aid in the development of
the state, their quick growth is really strongly tied to the number of foreigners living in their
nation. These expatriates have far better lifestyles and tend to stay as long as they can
because the city is becoming better and better with time. In comparison to comparable cities
in other nations, the pay rate there is likewise respectable. As a result, it is accurate to say that
growth encourages foreigners to stay in Dubai longer. People want to live in countries with
solid governments, so if Dubai keeps growing into a world-class metropolis, ex-pats may
even consider relocating there permanently. Professionals frequently migrate permanently to
a country with solid administration because it makes them feel more comfortable.
Lastly, as everyone is aware, an expatriate is a professional person who wants higher income
overseas to assure their comfort, professional advancement, and better lifestyle. Expatriates
are widespread because many nations employ them to ensure the growth and sustainability of
their economies. Dubai's strong financial position will encourage foreigners to remain longer.
People are also free from paying taxes even if they make money working there. People would
make a lot of money since the government wouldn't tax it. It is also simple to look for a better
profession or try to land a position with a greater wage because there are so many
opportunities available. Although Arabic is Dubai's official language, English is nevertheless
widely spoken and understood there. In Dubai, foreigners make up around 89% of the
population, and the majority of them are bilingual in English and their native tongue.
Language may be a barrier if we have problems understanding the other person. It could also
be a factor in why ex-pats stay away from a particular country. As English is a language that
is widely spoken and understood around the world, there will be less misunderstanding if it
can be understood in the United Arab Emirates.
