Sharjah approves part-time work for seniors
The ruler of Sharjah, Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, has approved a part-time work system for the Sharjah government aimed at employing 1,000 senior citizens. This initiative seeks to encourage their participation in the workforce and reduce social isolation. The system allows flexibility in working hours or days, enabling seniors to work two or three days a week according to their abilities, while receiving a suitable salary that does not cause fatigue. The program aims to improve seniors' mental well-being, empower them to engage socially, and reduce the risk of depression, by offering non-strenuous jobs such as monitoring museum visitor tickets and providing comfortable transportation options. Additionally, the ruler of Sharjah has decided to increase social support for more than 1,473 categories, raise the salaries of 3,270 senior government employees, and retire 1,470 retirees with higher pensions. These measures are part of a plan to improve living standards and promote employment within the emirate.
