Do UAE companies pay less salaries to women than men?

A. Women are a cornerstone of the UAE’s economic success. They represent a growing force in entrepreneurship, leadership, and innovation, contributing significantly across the finance, technology, education, and healthcare sectors. According to the World Bank, the labour force participation rate among females is 55.4 per cent in the UAE. Our leadership’s commitment to gender balance has created an enabling environment where women can excel, aligning with the UAE’s vision for a knowledge-driven economy.
