              Abu Dhabi: The 
              United Arab Emirates (UAE) will soon conduct a survey on the 
              challenges and problems faced by working women in the Gulf region. 
               
              A questionnaire on the "professional, social, cultural and 
              economic impact" of a working woman will be distributed across 
              various departments during the first quarter of the year, said 
              Amal Al Qubaisi, chairwoman of the Consultative Committee for 
              Women Employees. 
               
              The survey would explore the current situation, requirements of 
              women employees and the challenges they are facing. 
               
              "Findings will be analysed to identify the most pressing demands 
              of working women to hatch concepts on the best mechanism towards a 
              stimulating and supporting work environment for women," she said. 
               
              The questionnaire would probe the working women's "real demands" 
              so as to help her increase productivity as well as maintain 
              stability of her family, she added.
