holds 1st meeting, sets roadmaps

DUBAI / WAM

The Coordinating Council for Labour Market in the UAE held its first meeting, chaired by Dr Abdulrahman Al
Awar, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, and attended by Council members, including
officials, heads of local government departments, and representatives of federal

government entities.
The Council was formed in accordance with the Cabinet Decision 25/3 of 2024 regarding the Establishment

of a Coordinating Council for the Labour Market in the UAE. It is tasked with reviewing legislation, policies,
strategies, programmes, and initiatives related to private sector companies, employees, and domestic
workers.

The Council works to align federal and local systems, regulations, and procedures related to the labour
market, ensuring coordination and integration at the national level. It also reviews reports, as well as local

and international
statistics on the UAE labour market, to enhance the country’s global competitiveness and leadership.
During the meeting, Dr Al Awar said, “Establishing the Coordinating Council for Labour Market in the UAE

reinforces the wise leadership’s vision for integrating roles and responsibilities between federal and local
government entities, streamlining efforts in a joint government system that drives achievement in the labour

market, boosts the UAE’s competitiveness, and boosts the country’s position as the best place in the world
to live, work, and invest.”
“The meeting is the first step towards achieving the ambitious goals and objectives for which the Council

was established,” he added, noting his confidence that the upcoming period will see “positive strategic
transformations in joint efforts among all entities involved in the labour market, which, in turn, serves to

continuously boost labour market competitiveness and support its ability to empower Emirati citizens and
attract global talents.”
