Abu Dhabi Retirement Boosts Women's Empowerment
The Abu Dhabi Pension Fund has affirmed that the pension system in Abu Dhabi aims to empower Emirati women and enhance their role in society through flexible legislative benefits. The system includes an optional contribution scheme that allows women to make contributions during periods of child-rearing or postgraduate studies, as well as an early retirement option for those with five or more children. It also permits self-employed women and entrepreneurs to participate in a self-employed worker’s scheme to ensure financial stability. As of mid-2026, women accounted for approximately 55% of registered members in the system, with 7,041 retirees and 9,557 beneficiaries. Additionally, 17 women are enrolled in the optional contribution system, and 64 are part of the self-employed scheme. These benefits highlight the leadership’s commitment to supporting women and strengthening their contribution to economic and social development.
