UAE's high ranks are a result of the country's consistent economic development, expansion, and wealth over the past few decades, along with an increase in living standards. In order to pursue a path towards sustainable growth, the Emirates government has also outlined numerous significant initiatives and implemented a number of policies.
Domestically, the UAE government actively combats the root problems that frequently result in poverty by offering a wide range of social welfare programmes. People who are unable to generate adequate income levels for them and their families have access to a variety of social assistance programmes through the Department of Community Development in the UAE and national non-profit organisations like the Emirates Red Crescent.
The UAE has a high per capita income and a robust social system that prevents domestic poverty from becoming a serious problem for the government. The UAE has taken a holistic approach to guaranteeing the wellbeing of its residents from the release of its initial federal Govt. strategy in 2008, led by balanced welfare and health policies that provide effective help to those who require it.
The government has created policies and programmes expressly for the care of vulnerable people because poverty does not exist in the UAE. The State Social Security Law Ref. 2 of 2001, which recognises twenty-one categories of disadvantaged populations, including the aged, orphans, widows, The workless, "people of determination" (special needs), households of the imprisoned, and those in poor health, serves as the foundation for these policies. Regular category reviews are conducted, and women are given preferential consideration under the statute.
The Federal Water and Electricity Authority, as well as the water and power authorities in the Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah, provide exclusions from the expense of water and electricity consumption to families encased first by Social Security Legislation, as well as other special benefits and privileges.
Local governments give further financial aid when required on a case-by-case basis. For residents of some emirates, local governments are responsible for covering the gap between their private earnings and the required minimum monthly income.
If a person or family doesn't own their home, local governments may also offer financial aid for rental costs as well as subsidised public transportation. About 25% of persons covered by the Social Security Act have profited from the free assignment of shares of various joint stock enterprises as part of their social security benefits, which give them a secure and permanent income.
The Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme, the Mohammed bin Rashid Residential Establishment, and other regional housing programmes in all emirates also grant beneficiaries special housing privileges, either by giving them housing or by giving them a building plot, money, and a soft loan to construct their own homes.
