In support of the nationalisation efforts adopted by the state, which are considered a major strategy within the state’s current as well as future policies and objectives, the directives of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, to the Department of Statistics and Community Development, were to conduct a survey of citizens looking for work via a text message that contains a link to the questionnaire for citizens of the emirate who are registered with the Department of Human Resources in Sharjah to collect some of the required data, in addition to confirming the state's interest in this vital file, and the need to complete it at this particular stage.
The United Arab Emirates has spent billions of dirhams on educating and qualifying its students, preparing them to be active and important actors in the labor market. Especially at a time when it is keen to be selective in regard to the type of foreign employment that it incorporates. They must be well-educated and trained as well as being a required addition to the labor market. Such a situation requires that priority be given to nationals of the country before others, since it is an undisputed right of theirs.
Sultan's directives are cohesive, with the aim of achieving the interest of the homeland along with the citizen. Together with the owners of the private sector. In addition to citizens and expatriates. It aims to provide appropriate job opportunities for citizens looking for work in the private sector. Besides overcoming obstacles which could face them. The citizen employee in Sharjah will work under the umbrella of government protection. He is guaranteed the same salary as his colleague in the government and the same worker rights.
At the same time, he will abide by the working hours in the private institution. As well as the overall administrative and financial system that defines vacations and the nature of working days, etc. The Sharjah government will bear the salary differences between the local and private government sectors.
The local government will create alternative opportunities in the event that the facility is closed, and the citizen employee will benefit from the health insurance provided by the government of Sharjah. Besides, being covered under the insurance umbrella of the Sharjah Social Security Fund, which benefits are provided by the government to support the nationalisation of the private sector and encourage citizens to work in its institutions. Naturally, the government of Sharjah will bear a lot of expenses in order to achieve more successes for the issue of nationalisation at the state level. Additionally, it provides a wonderful model that deserves to be emulated by all the Emirates to expedite the closing of this file, since it is not acceptable for a citizen to look for a suitable job opportunity in a country that imports workers, employees, technicians and spends billions on educating its children in the most prestigious universities, locally and internationally. Local governments are required to undertake similar projects to nationalise available job opportunities in the private sector. The state, in its federal and local sectors will reap the results soon when the citizen exercises every effort to restore the beauty of the country that embraces him or her gently, from childhood until old age.
