It is different between men and women in UAE:

 

- Men can retire after completing 25 years of service or when reaching 60, yet they may choose to continue working till 65 or more with special reward mechanism.

 

- Women can retire after 15 years of service if she has children or when she reaches 49 years old or when she completes 20 years of service, like men she also can work till she is 60 with special reward mechanism.

Emirati employees at 49.

However, employees will need to have worked for 20 years to be eligible for a United Arab Pension, according to the General Pension and Social Security Authority.

The new law was brought in due to the number of Emiratis resigning upon reaching 48, the previous retirement age. The age is expected to be raised again to 50 next year.

While Emiratis enjoy the world’s lowest retirement age, expats in the UAE cannot retire until the age of 65 .

Expats are not eligible for a UAE pension, but the gratuity scheme that sees end of service pay outs from companies to employers acts as a form of post-work income for many.

The new law will come into effect from February 28.
