Abu Dhabi: The
United Arab Emirates (UAE) will soon conduct a survey on the
challenges and problems faced by working women in the Gulf region.
A questionnaire on the "professional, social, cultural and
economic impact" of a working woman will be distributed across
various departments during the first quarter of the year, said
Amal Al Qubaisi, chairwoman of the Consultative Committee for
Women Employees.
The survey would explore the current situation, requirements of
women employees and the challenges they are facing.
"Findings will be analysed to identify the most pressing demands
of working women to hatch concepts on the best mechanism towards a
stimulating and supporting work environment for women," she said.
The questionnaire would probe the working women's "real demands"
so as to help her increase productivity as well as maintain
stability of her family, she added.
