What are the new Nafis benefits in the UAE—and do people think they will really help families?

Under the expanded Nafis programme, Emiratis working in the private sector will now receive uncapped child allowances (removing the previous four-child limit), along with monthly salary support of up to Dh3,000 for children of Emirati mothers and wives of Emirati men, while the scheme—extended to 2040—also shifts focus toward high-value sectors like banking, AI, and real estate; but what’s your take, will these enhanced benefits truly encourage more Emiratis to join and stay in the private sector, or are there still challenges that need to be addressed?
