Though current GDP per capita contracted by 42% in the 1980s, successful diversification helped register positive growth of 48% in the 1990s. The UAE has an open economy with a high per capita income and a sizable annual trade surplus. Its wealth is based on oil and gas output (about 33% of GDP), and the fortunes of the economy fluctuate with the prices of those commodities. Since 1973, the UAE has undergone a profound transformation from an impoverished region of small desert principalities to a modern state with a high standard of living. At present levels of production, oil and gas reserves should last for over 100 years. Despite higher oil revenues in 1999, the government has not drawn back from the economic reforms implemented during the 1998 oil price depression. The government has increased spending on job creation and infrastructure expansion and is opening up its utilities to greater private-sector involvement. Expatriates from India and Pakistan perform a significant role in the local economy. However, to control illegal immigration into the country, on November 9, 2002, the UAE immigration ministry announced that all Indians visiting the country must have a return ticket. The government has been criticized by the human rights agency Human Rights Watch for its inaction in addressing the discrimination against Asian workers in the emirates. Salary structures and treatment based on nationality, sex, age, and race rather than on qualification are common. A plumber or a janitor from U.K. can easily become a General Manager in an Arab managed company and highly qualified expatriates from the South Asian countries would report to him. The UAE's human rights record, particularly in relation to migrant workers, was widely criticized during the trials of Sarah Balabagan in 1995. A Web site is campaigning to pressure the government of the UAE into signing up to International Labour Organization core conventions on freedom of association. Strikes and unions are currently banned in the UAE and many laborers are virtual prisoners, having paid huge agents' fees in order to obtain jobs and visas. --------------------------------------- Migrant workers: Migrant workers, either unskilled or skilled, comprise a large portion of UAE's workforce. A 2003 Human Rights Watch report estimates up to 90 percent of the country's 1.7 million workers are migrants [10], the highest percentage in the world. These migrants, drawn to wages often more than they could make in their home countries, have helped UAE's endless construction projects proceed rapidly. However, unlike many other countries, these foreign workers (also known as expatriates) do not have a claim to UAE citizenship and thus cannot be naturalized. This is generally only possible through marriage to a UAE or GCC citizen. People from neighboring Arab countries (i.e. Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Oman, Sudan, Syria, Yemen and Saudi Arabia) or Iran across the Persian Gulf despite historical Iranian claims of the region[citation needed], who entered the country illegally during the 1950s and 60s, however, are full UAE citizens because poor border controls existed at that time.[citation needed] Migrant workers in UAE face many challenges. As mentioned above, disparities in salaries and treatment occur for different races and nationalities, with Arabs and people of European descent (primarily are upper-middle class, like contractors, doctors, lawyers, managers, professionals and shipping workers) getting better pay than their Asian counterparts. It's not the case for Japanese in the same class like Europeans, and UAE's large group of wealthy American expatriates, as well a small number of high-income Australians, or non-Arab (Sub Saharan African) counterparts, and North Africans like Moroccans, Algerians, Tunisians and Libyans are better off. Even among Asians, in terms of continental origin, there are disparities. For example, a worker from South Asian countries (i.e. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh), and from across Asia: Turkey, Afghanistan, Iran, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and the Philippines may receive lower pay and worse treatment than one from Japan or South Korea or Singapore. U.A.E. does not have any diplomatic relationship with Israel and hence Israeli citizens are not allowed to enter U.A.E. --------------------------------- Demographics: UAE has one of the most diverse populations in the Middle East. Since the mid-1980s, people from all across South Asia have settled in the UAE. In fact, an estimated 85 percent of the population is comprised of non-citizens, one of the world's highest percentages of foreign-born in any nation.[citation needed] The UAE's better living standards and economic opportunities than anywhere else in the Middle East and South Asia have made it an attractive destination for Indians and Pakistanis, Baluchis along with tens of thousands from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. In 2006, there were approximately 1.2 million Indian nationals and 300,000 Pakistani nationals in the UAE, making them the largest expatriate community in the oil-rich nation.[2] Persons from over twenty Arab nationalities, including thousands of Palestinians who came as either political refugees or migrant workers, live in the UAE.[citation needed] Emiratis (local Arabs) 11% Other Arabs 21% South Asians 57% Western and East Asian 11% The most populated city is Dubai, with approximately 1.2 million people. Other major cities include Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Sharjah, and Fujairah. About 88% of the population of the United Arab Emirates is urban.[3] The remaining live in tiny towns scattered throughout the country or many of the desert oilfield camps. There are also residents from other parts of the Middle East, Baluchistan, Africa, Europe, Post-Soviet states, and North America. The UAE has developed a small number, but very affluent group of expatriates (Americans, British, Japanese and Australians) from developed countries, attracted to a very warm climate, scenic views (beaches, golf courses, man-made islands and lucrative housing tracts in Abu Dhabi and Dubai), the nation's comparably low-cost of living (but in 2006, thousands of real estate properties are valued over millions of dollars) and tax-free incentives for their business or residency in the UAE. They make up under 5 percent of the UAE population, mainly English-speaking as well learned Arabic and are mainly not Muslims, but adhered to the law and customs of their adopted country.
