Sculpting Dubai's workforce By Dr Rod Monger, Special to Gulf News gulfnews.com Numbers may be keys to the nature of Dubai's workforce and its economy. According to a 2005 government report, 97.13 per cent of Dubai's total labour force is foreign. Luxembourg limps in next with 59.75 per cent, and thereafter the percentage drops below 25 per cent with only 10 countries having more than 10 per cent. This is the first of three deeply important numbers. The second number - mostly likely unknown - is the percentage of those foreign workers who have come to regard Dubai as home or would like to make it their permanent home. Many of these expats came to Dubai 15 to 20 years ago for a two-year stint, liked it and stayed. The third number, also from the government, is that only five per cent of Emiratis are employed in the private sector.
