Revealed: UAE labour ministry's 2015 worker report
The UAE's labour authority, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), has published its first annual report highlighting the state of labour rights in the country. MOHRE's Workers Welfare Report 2015 focuses on measures to ensure that all workers that come to the UAE "are recruited and employed equitably, safe in their place of work, and free to advance professionally and personally". The publication of this report is part of a drive to increase transparency about labour issues, improve data reporting, and ensure that discussion about the transnational labour mobility and economic development is frank and fair.
