Every citizen has to be proud about his identity. When we will debate the identity, we will find that the most important problem that UAE faces is the demographic imbalance. More expatriates than the nationals, low birth rate, and high divorce rate are contributing in the problem. The UAE government has three goals which are protecting the Arabic language; women entering the workforce and decreasing the number of maids.
The Arabic language is affected by the expatriates as well as the maids. We don’t use the Arabic language a lot these days, because we cannot communicate with the workers who are foreign. Also the children affected by the maids and their language are becoming weaker. So making a law that obliges the workers to learn Arabic and to use it instead of English is good solution. Also, the numbers of maids have to be restricted. Another important thing is that we have to give confidence to women in order to enter the workforce, why not where the UAE has the highest percentage of the female graduates in the Arab world.
In conclusion, everyone has to think about his identity. This problem, is will not be solved by just words on paper or saying words, we have to do something.
