t1. What characteristics of diversity and affirmative action programs do you recognize in this case?
The characteristics of diversity that is presented in this case involves the high number of expatriate workers that are currently present in the United Arab Emirates workforce. These expatriates make up 98% of the private sector in jobs, while the UAE citizens make up about 13.5%.
