United Arab Emi puts is one of GCC members which suffer unemployment ontogeny since the early country development time of the 70th of the past century. concord to the (C. I. A The World Factbook, n. d. ) the unemployment rate for the United Arab Emirates is 2. 1% with roughly 32. 6% of Emirati men and 47. 7% of women out of work up. This is based on a remove conducted in 2006 from a poll of 4,800 U. A. E nationals of working age. To break it take down even further, 73. 8% among those senile in the midst of 18-29 were slothful. 18. 6% of individuals aged between 30-39 were inactive. 30. % of individuals with a University degree were unemployed. Those of who are improve at the secondary take level constituted a 35. 8% unemployment.This paper addresses and discusses the topic with several resources emerging the situation of unemployment in UAE based on statistics self-collected since 2001 till 2010. Furthermore this paper spots and focuses on the associated reasons which ar e considered as root cause and the effective solution. (Muawia E. Ibrahim, 2004) wrote about the fluctuation of the unemployment among UAE nationals despite of the showy offers in both ordinary and backstage sector.Till 2002, 29900 nationals were registered as unemployed in addition to 12600 in 2003. In 2001& 2002, 7124 national was graduated from university this growth in the human activity of university graduates influenced the phenomena of the unemployment in UAE to score 35% of the total number 29900. According to the planning ministry statistics only 9% of the total workforce was booked by UAE nationals in 2003 and this situation referred to the incompatibility of pedantic training and foodstuff requirements. The increase of the theoretical than practical academician isciplines graduates is one reason throne this phenomenon however the mart demands the technological and professional field. The gap between the academic institution and the employment institution caused students to wrongly select their take ining major which is not required by the market. Because of the deterioration in the standards of students in mathematics, incline and Arabic, excessively needing basic study skills, research ideas and personal abilities do the university and the higher colleges of technology to spend money on training impudently admitted student in order for them to become educated with new academic life requirements.Accordingly, recommendation raised to the concerned institutions to cooperate in prescribing course of study so that students are well prepared and capable of carrying on with their studies in higher breeding institution. Also, recommended strong and closer coordination between higher training institutions to design academic programmes that are aligned with the labour market demand. finally the concept of the training students during college period is important to improve the employment relationships. Elsa Baxter, 2009) intelligibly em phasis on unemployment among UAE nationals at its highest level since the country was entraped 38 courses ago, with more than 40,000 Emiratis out of work. According to the National human Resources Development and recruitment (Tanmia) the UAE was suffering unemployment crisis, which go forth continue to rise unless action is taken. While the local anaesthetic unemployment rate on an influx of expatriate labour and the failure of plans to nominate more jobs for locals.The UAE society like other disjuncture societies is suffering from an expression published by the Abu Dhabi based Emirates centre for Strategic Studies and research. Further, the unemployment rate among UAE nationals peak at 13 percentage at the end of 2008. The same rate for expatriates was just 2. 6 percent. Despite of the numerous efforts by the UAE government to outfit the unemployment worry they had little effect. Overall, this line started to convince us that there is a sort of imbalanced or legal ga p, it could also be a lack of coordination among those institutions. UAE unemployment rises to 4%, 2009) unemployment in the UAE jumped to 4 percent in 2008, from 3. 45 percent in 2007, according to figure from the Ministry of Economy. Considering the fact of expatriates have go away the country since the global financial crises. Which means the jobless rate among expatriates will not increase sharply. The rate among UAE nationals records a higher increase tending(p) the rapid growth in their number. However, this is not basically for sparing reasons barely due to the reluctance of nationals to join the private sector and their preference for the public sector.Anees Dayoub & Ben Flanagan, 2006), The high rate of unemployment among UAE nationals was revealed today in a study that found that 32. 6% of Emirati men, and 47. 7% of women, are not in work. Nepotism and the preference for merchandise labour were seen as being the two main meanss behind this. The study by Sharjah Unive rsity polled a random selection of 4,800 UAE nationals of working age. The unemployment rate among those aged 18-29 was 73. 8%, the newspaper said. In the 30-39 bracket 18. % of those polled were unemployed. Those with a university degree representing 30. 1% of the total unemployed are actually less likely to be in work than those with a diploma (21. 1% of the total). Those only educated to secondary school level constitute 35. 8% of people not in work. The predominate reason behind the high figures was nepotism where jobs are awarded to family members of steering with 74. 3 per cent citing this as a cause.Competition from expatriates was a factor for 30. 9% of those surveyed. Nadim Kawach, 2004), All Arab League countries are suffering from such a caper but joblessness has remained under control in nigh members, including the UAE, on the grounds their development spending is still high and their economy has been increase fast enough in some years. While unemployment in some member relegates is as high as 20 per cent, it has remained as embarrassed as 1. 8 per cent over the past seven years in the UAE and Kuwait. Unemployment among UAE nationals is higher, standing at around six per cent, given the comparatively low numbers of local manpower, according to official figures.But the reasons for unemployment among nationals in the UAE have nothing to do with economic performance but with all in all different factors. They include a sharp increase in inherent graduates, their preference for working in the public sector and the reluctance of the private sector to recruit nationals on the grounds they are costlier. Figures revealed by Matar Humaid Al Tayer, Minister of Labour and Social Affairs, showed around 13,000 known nationals are spirit for jobs, accounting for nearly six per cent of the total native workforce of around 200,000 at the end of last year. More than 3,000 nationals are graduating from universities and institutes in the UAE every year an d the rate is expected to continue until 2015this requires serious measures to give all those graduates in the labour market, the Minister told the monthly bulletin of the Abu Dhabi sleeping room of Commerce and Industry. UAE has a wealth of oil and is distinct from the rest of the Gulf population density low is supposed to not face some(prenominal) of the chores faced by countries with densely populated, but it turned out, through reports from parties concerned in internal and external different that the UAE suffer from the task of unemployment .The hassle has emerged since the early years of recounthood movement development. Results of some of these reports prove the existence of the problem of unemployment in the UAE, which is high from the perspective of reality where the UAE Emiratis ratio of two percent of the total workforce, including the state and the rate of thirty-five percent of the UAE based unemployed are university graduates.Reports in this regard indicate that the unemployment rate continues to increase since the year two thousand and six months, until today, although observers show concern about this problem and its future if it remained the case as it is without any progress to solve the problem of unemployment. The truth is that reports attributed the occurrence of the problem of unemployment to many reasons, and of the most(prenominal) prominent and most powerful and realistic is the absence of the comprehensive educational plan and also the absence of co-ordination between state institutions concerned. angiotensin-converting enzyme of the reasons that have contributed to exacerbate this problem economic boom between the year two thousand and troika to the year two thousand and seven, this rapid change and non-measured by the state institutions to create a large gap between the requirements of the labor market and the qualifications of citizens of study process are available, and then came the setback of the global economic to rece ive its consequences on the State and increase the complexity of the problem. Incurred higher education institutions and universities to pay huge ums in order to bridge this gap for the replacement of citizens and provide them with the skills and science that correspond with the requirements of the labor market, as a short-lived solution. On the other hand it is also the reasons is the lack of awareness and poor people performance of the individual citizen and not to highlight the seriousness with full prospect for the development of educational qualifications and scientific capabilities to be able to bear the burden of the labor market.There are also other reasons contribute to the extract problem of unemployment in the State, such as nepotism and cronyism, which leads to giving opportunities and positions of responsibility that require to be hard work experience to people who are inept and unable to bear the burden required and thus the failure and a waste of time and money at the expense of other citizens. One of the reasons also grow foreign workers without statistical studies and conscious to preserve the rights of citizens in the percentage of jobs available in the state.Through the above discussion of the problem and the reasons for their formation can be ascertained that the fundamental solution is to work on studies and statistics include all the emirates and the development of a future plan, victorious into account the current situation and how to deal with him, and directing all state institutions, public and private cooperation and coordination to develop appropriate solutions.Distribution of roles between the emirates to accept progress on the economic level in terms of geographical scope and manner of economic activity and also to reduce to bring foreign workers would help alleviate the problem relatively. It is also clear to the countrys lack of national cadres and high-value intellectual and global experience a significant impingeme nt on the incidence and the continuing problem of unemployment and others.
