Prohibition of Forced or Bonded Labor:

The UAE Government prohibits forced and bonded child labor and generally
enforces this prohibition effectively.
The Labor Law prohibits employment of persons under the age of
15 and has special provisions for employing those 15 to 18 years of
age. The Federal Ministry of Labor is responsible for enforcing the
regulations. Other regulations permit employers to employ only adult
foreign workers.
In July 2005, the UAEG passed a decree banning the use of child
camel jockeys and included criminal penalties for violators up to and
including imprisonment.
The ban prohibits the use of camel jockeys less than 18 years of age
