(MENAFN) A survey, launched by Informa Exhibitions, showed that the majority of Emaratis still prefer public sector jobs despite the country’s Emiratisation efforts in the private sectors, Arabian Business reported.
The survey also showed that 90 percent of the respondents were in favor of of working at the government organizations.
Also, Informa Exhibitions said that two thirds of UAE nationals currently employed are actively seeking better job opportunities, while nearly half of those unemployed have been looking for a job for more than 12 months.
The survey found also a gender gap among Emiratisation employment rates, as 55 percent of the female respondents were unemployed and actively seeking a job, while just 32 percent of male respondents were out of work.
The survey concluded that the most common reasons for a public sector preference were higher salaries, better working hours, more job security, and the perception that public sector organizations would treat them better than in the private sector.
Comments made by respondents in the survey indicated many feel a patriotic duty to serve their country.
