    Education and the right exposures have surely got us a long way, but gender disparity is still an issue that needs to be tackled forcefully. Because even with all the job opportunities created, it will not do much good if one section of the workforce keeps on being treated at a disadvantage. Image Credit: Atiq Ur Rehman/Gulf News

    The UAE certainly is working towards erasing such gender-related gaps. The country is ranked 18th globally and at the top regionally in the Gender Inequality Index (GII) of the UN Development Programme’s Human Development Report 2020. Image Credit: Supplied

    A recent study shows that 28 per cent of females hold leadership positions in the UAE. The number is expected to see sharp increases as women in business advance in their careers as equal opportunities result in talent optimization. Image Credit: Gulf News Archives

    The UAE Labour Law provides for the abolition of all restrictions imposed on women working at night and working in complex jobs such as mining, construction, manufacturing, energy, agriculture and transportation to give women the right to work in these industries. The law does not allow the employer to terminate a woman’s services or warn her because of her pregnancy. Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News archives

    Flexible legislation is a major incentive that makes the UAE one of the most preferred destinations to work globally. Image Credit: Stock photo
