Founded on May 26, 1981, GCC aimed to promote coordination between its member states.3 In 2003, approximately four million people lived in the UAE, with about one quarter residing in Dubai (835,000 men and 369,000 women).4 This population was predominantly not indigenous as 60% hailed from Asia, 15% came from other Arab countries, and 5% were from Europe. All key positions in the Dubai government however were occupied by members of a ruling family—their authority unchallenged by political parties or universal suffrage.5 While the ruling family tolerated non-Muslim religions, the preaching of any expression of religion other than Islam was forbidden as was the formation of trade unions.

Among the population of the country, 77.1% are employed, men dominating the numbers than women. Corporates organizations are required to pay a 45-day leaves to expecting mothers.

The UAE has one of the most diversified economies in the region. Abu Dhabi holds 90% of the Federation’s hydrocarbon reserves. A down side of that is that now the UAE is dependent on the revenues Abu Dhabi can obtain from the reserves. On the other hand, the service industry in Dubai has been booming, as Dubai has the 7th largest port in the world and has become the largest business center in the region. Additionally, there seems to be political stability across the Federation, which increases the chances of people doing business. There have been reports of the lack of transparency of para-public entities and businesses, which is something

United Arab Emirates is situated in the Middle East bordering Saudi Arabia and Oman. The country consists of seven emirates(cities) with Abu Dhabi as capital and Dubai, the financial capital of the country. The population of United Arab Emirates is 9.3 million as of 2013; however, the nationals of South Asian countries (Workers from Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) comprise around 50% of UAE´s total population. Furthermore, Ethnic composition can be classified as: Emirati (19%), South Asians (50%), other Arabs and Iranians (23%), and other expatriates including Westerners and East Asians (8%). We observe from this pattern that there are more foreign population that leads the economy projects and the economy running in UAE. Some of the major reasons include people-friendly laws, welcoming and friendly atmosphere and political stability and safety accompanied by large pool of luxury offerings. (United Arab Emirates, Country Risk Report). Living in the UAE provides several advantages to Expats (Immigrant workers). One of the biggest advantage is NO Tax implications. Apart from the major advantage, other religions are allowed to be practiced - there is a church compound in Jebel Ali with Christian churches and a Sikh temple etc. Secondly, accommodation in Dubai is mostly new and pleasant. Serviced apartments are available everywhere in the city. These come furnished and are serviced as part of the rent; short-term leases are also available for this type of

The population of Kuwait is about 3.7 million and its GDP (PP) is $153.5 billion with 8.2% growth in 2011. The 5-year compound annual growth of the country is 3.1% with $41,691 per capita. The FDI Inflow is estimated to be $398.6 million and public debt is about 7.3% of GDP. Kuwait`s economy has been ranked 66th freest in the 2013 Index since its economic freedom score is 63.1. The country is ranked 7th among 15 of the Middle Eastern and North Africa region. The progress towards an economic freedom has not been even for Kuwait. The transition from conservative approaches towards a diverse attitude has been a challenge. Despite the efforts made to bring diversity and modernism to the economy, the production of oil is still dominant. The private sector depends upon the government for finance and labor since the labor market is highly segmented. The public sector employs about 80 percent of the labor force. Privatization law was passed in 2010; however, little effort has been made towards its implementation.

Saudi Arabia has been over a rare revolution from a humble nomad life to the current contemporary life it is currently. This transition needed high exertion, strategies as well as policies in the 20th century to take the Asian nation to its present position. As noted by Roy (2009), the Saudi Arabian economy is one of the largest in Asia and has been rising at a vigorous pace as well as fruitful in providing employment. Nevertheless, most of the jobs go to foreign employees, yielding high redundancy among the promptly budding Saudi labor force.

The structure of the paper mirrors this, as the following segment considers the structure of work in Saudi Arabia and, specifically, the diverse profession structures existing for Saudi and remote specialists. The segment that takes after takes a gander at abilities and aptitudes advancement. Another segment considers the effect of Saudisation on profession improvement. A last area introduces a few conclusions (Madhi, 2003).

Being one of the smallest nations in the world, the United Arab Emirates is uniquely positioned to be an economic superpower in the next few decades. With their forward thinking policies, and far reaching impact, one of the few things holding them back from success is their leadership. Although the United Arab Emirates has an involved authoritarian regime, diversification of the market economy, innovative trade policies, and forward-thinking government projects have created an arena for economic growth.

Unlike the melting pot of nationalities in America, United Arab Emirates is, more accurately, like a pot of nationalities that was never heated. The immigration policies of UAE, among other things, have kept them all separated. As can be seen in Dubai, a city that is the present day Constantinople, the modern age has taken over in every industry. The city is glittering with popular brands like McDonald’s, PizzaHut, Dominoes, Chili’s, The Cheesecake Factory, Starbucks, Nando’s, Lal Qila and many more from the United States, Europe and Asia. The fashion scene, described by my friend who visits Dubai twice a year, is like that of New York or Paris. The Emirati culture and values are fading as the newer generations assimilate into their current social scene. Their immigration policies are failing to keep their ideals intact. The labor laws lack protection of any kind for the immigrant workers, domestic or otherwise. The government of UAE cannot hold preservation of national identity and cultural values to be more important than the rights of the immigrants. In their quest for cheap labor and large profit margins, the UAE government is violating human rights and social rights.

The UAE 's economy is the most diversified in the Gulf and the wider region. There’s no income tax. The gross domestic product is 67,616 dollars US per capita. The country oil and gas reserves are among the richest in the world. Successful efforts at economic diversification have reduced the portion of GDP based on oil and gas output to twenty five percent with a plan to push it to zero within next fifty years (Renewable Energy Prospects: United Arab Emirates p. 30). Low prices of oil have prompted the UAE to take steps to reduce its spending on country wide social programs, including eliminating fuel subsidies in August 2015. The IMF recently praised the vision and fiscal policies adopted by the country that

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was not always the global epicenter of the Middle East. Culture is a lifestyle based on values, norms, behaviors, and beliefs of a region. Before it became a country, it was seven different regions next to Saudi Arabia and Oman. Its culture provided a Bedouin lifestyle and one focused upon the region. As the regions progressed throughout history, they began to realize they need one another to survive. Each region had a ruler, called a sheikh, and they banded together to create a federation known as UAE. Today, UAE thrives upon the westernization, globalization, and wealth that have fallen before them. The region fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, the history, politics, economics, social, and military make up the pieces of culture making UAE a stabilized epicenter in the turmoil area of the Middle East.

The labour market in Saudi Arabia is flooded with expats who take up most of the skilled jobs in the kingdom. As per a research by Gulf Talent(2014) In 2013 there was an increase in job creation of around 5% from the previous year at a 62% which is the highest job creation ate within the GCC. As per the official data from Saudi ministry the expatriate labour force amounted to over 8 million the most from India, Pakistan and other South East Asian countries (Steffen Hertog, 2012). In 2003 the Saudi Labour Council came up with Saudization in an effort to reduce the unemployment rates which were at 10% of the total work force and reduce the number of expatriates to approximately 20% of the entire local population (Pakkiasamy, 2004).
