Sociocultural Context

Surprisingly, less than 20% of UAE's population are Emirati. The majority is South Asian, originating from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The most widely practiced religion is Islam, with Sunni Muslims making up a majority.  As a result, there are few internal problems regarding religion. The country is also making efforts to improve the educational system, with the student populations at the country's universities rising. This sociocultural context seems to indicate that UAE has the potential for strong growth in coming years.
