阿联酋的酋长国化解释：罚款和 2024 年最后期限
The Emaratization policy, a key initiative under the ‘We the UAE 2031’ strategy, aims to boost the UAE’s GDP from $405.6 billion to $816.7 billion within the next decade. First introduced in 2021, Emaratization is gaining renewed attention in July 2024 as it officially takes effect. This implementation phase will include company inspections, compliance checks, and potential penalty payments for non-compliance.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has identified around 12,000 companies with 20-49 employees that must meet new hiring requirements. These businesses must employ at least one UAE citizen in 2024, with an additional Emirati hire needed in 2025. This crucial policy is designed to increase Emirati participation in the workforce, supporting the UAE’s broader economic and development goals.
2024 年 Emaratization 罚款
For 2024, the fine is Dh8,000 per month for each Emirati not hired. Previously, the fine was Dh7,000 per in 2023 and Dh6,000 monthly in 2022. Subsequently, the penalties will increase by Dh1,000 annually until 2026.Â
Private companies in the country must increase the number of Emirati employees by two per cent every year. By the end of last year, companies were required to have 4% Emirati employees. By the end of this month (June), this should be upped to 5%. Before 2024 ends, a firm’s workforce must have 6% UAE nationals.

A federal law aims to raise the Emiratisation target by 2% annually to reach 10% of a company’s workforce by the end of 2026. The annual target is split in two – 1% in the first six months, and the other 1% in the second half of the year.

MOHRE urged companies yet to meet their Emiratisation targets to take advantage of the Nafis Programme’s digital platform, “which allows them access to a wide pool of qualified Emirati job seekers across various specialisations.â€
今年 5 月，莫赫尔宣布，目前有 97,000 多名阿联酋人在国内约 20,000 家私营公司工作。
What is the “Emiratization†Policy?
酋长国化是阿联酋的一项国家劳动力政策，旨在增加酋长国人在私营部门的就业。它也是加强民族认同感和培育阿联酋文化的有力工具。.
There are various objectives for the Emiratization policy, including:Â
- 增加阿联酋人的就业机会
- 减少对外国劳动力的依赖
- 提高阿联酋国民的技能和能力
- 让阿联酋国民帮助推动经济增长和可持续发展
酋长国化政策的背景
人口为 1017 万、 阿联酋人占少数，为 11.48%，外籍人士占多数，为 88.52%。52.因此，"阿联酋化 "是一项战略举措，旨在解决这一不平衡问题，减少对外国劳动力的依赖。
The Middle East Economy explains the historical background of the Emiratization policy. Before oil discovery, the UAE’s economy heavily relied on fishing and pearl diving. However, when the UAE struck oil in the late 1960s, it brought rapid economic growth followed by reliance on foreign labour.
As a result, the high influx of foreign workers took most of the employment opportunities. This reliance created imbalance and limited opportunities for Emaratis to upskill.Â
The UAE government implemented Emiratization policies in the early 2000s to rectify this. These policies aimed to enhance Emiratis’ participation in the private sector workforce.
酋长国化不断发展，纳入了激励私营公司雇用和培训酋长国人的措施。已实施的措施包括培训计划、政府补贴和特定行业的阿联酋人就业配额。
这些努力改善了这一状况，使阿联酋人能够为阿联酋的增长和发展做出积极贡献。不过，政府正在加快这一努力，以实现至少有 10%的阿联酋人在至少拥有 50 名员工的私营公司任职的目标。
