The UAE federal government announced a series of legal, administrative, and labour-related initiatives under the Year of Family 2026 framework, according to the Emirates News Agency.
As part of these measures, the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council approved reforms to the Nafis private-sector employment scheme. The changes abolish previous caps on children's allowances and extend salary subsidies through 2040.
Under the updated labour support framework, salary benefits have also been extended to include children of Emirati mothers and wives of UAE citizens working in the private sector.
In parallel, the Ministry of Justice and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security introduced the 'Emirati Family Data' package, designed to streamline civil registry and official documentation procedures.
