According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), over 10,500 UAE workers received vital financial assistance during times of unemployment in 2024 as a result of the Unemployment Insurance program. For workers in the federal government and commercial sectors nationwide, the plan represents a major step towards bolstering social security.
The Unemployment Insurance System which was introduced as a component of a larger social safety net currently has about 9 million members. For a maximum of three months, it offers monetary compensation equivalent to 60% of a worker’s base pay guaranteeing stability while they move on to new chances. The system is a reflection of the UAE government’s continuous dedication to preserving economic stability and helping workers through difficult times.
