Abu Dhabi: A study of nearly 3,000 Emirati youths has shown that more than nine out of 10 — 91 per cent — believe the UAE is looking at an even brighter future, even as the world undergoes major transformations over the next 50 years.
The study, commissioned by the Mohammed Bin Zayed Majlis for Future Generations, was released today following a series of sessions on Sunday that connected the youth with ministers and industry bigwigs. The third MBZ Majlis was also the first time the event was held virtually and it saw more than 13,000 youths in attendance.

“The findings of the study, highlighting the confidence of Emirati youth in the future of the nation, reflect the positivity and clearly-articulated vision of our leadership. With a focus on nurturing youth talent and enabling them to realise their full potential, the UAE has outlined a strategic course of action to provide world-class higher education to the youth and prepare them for the jobs of the future. Alongside, there is a strong emphasis on building a local innovation ecosystem and boosting entrepreneurial abilities. All these lay the foundation for building the next 50 years as we march towards the Centennial 2071 goal to be the best nation in the world,” said Mohamed Al Nuaimi, Director of the Education Affairs office at the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince’s Court.
