As a result of these statistics, one can see how much of an economic boom the UAE is in. This can be seen by comparing the GDPs and the poverty rate in each country, you can see that, while the GDP is high due to the oil money there, the poverty rate suggests that the government is struggling to provide benefits to the lower class citizens but those in the upper class have a lot of money. Also, as onme can see from the literacy rate and the unemployment rate, that while there is a large amount of jobs that are taken, they are probably low-quality jobs with little to no pay, as the unemployment rate is lower that the percentage of people who can not read and are under the poverty line.
