UAE considers expat pension schemes

Pension schemes could soon be available for expat workers in the UAE, following a study that recommends replacing traditional end-of-service gratuity schemes with a savings investment fund. A copy of the study has been obtained by local newspaper Gulf News, which say it was recently presented to the UAE government.
