Furthermore, the session highlighted generational diversity within the UAE’s population, as outlined in
the 2024 report by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA). According to
this report, Generation Alpha accounts for 16.43 percent of the total population in the UAE, while
Generation Z represents 13.46 percent, Baby Boomers make up 5.29 percent, and the Silent

Generation, along with older Boomers, constitute 1.7 percent.

The session underscored the significance of multi-generational teams in fostering creativity and
innovation. It also highlighted the advantages of reverse mentoring in bridging generational gaps
through mutual learning and emphasized that generational diversity is a valuable asset for promoting

innovation and collaboration across sectors and societies.

The ‘KnowTalks’ series consists of intellectual sessions and seminars where experts gather to discuss
key challenges, uncover untapped opportunities, and share global insights. Sessions take place at least
once a month and are available as recordings on the digital platforms of MBRF and UNDP, providing
public access to past discussions. The series also encourages interactive engagement, enabling

participants to engage with experts, ask questions, and contribute ideas, thereby fostering meaningful
dialogue and assisting in the development of comprehensive solutions.
