What does the Arab Youth Survey essentially reveal?

The latest edition of the Arab Youth Survey was published on October 6. The report and its findings will have been welcomed by the leadership of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) since their country was cited by most young Arabs as their preferred place to live and work, owing to their belief that the UAE is safe and a good place to find well-paid work.
The report also mentioned that this was the ninth year in a row that the UAE had received top marks among the region's young, along with their wish to see their own countries follow its example.
The survey, which is run by the Dubai-based ASDA'A BCW company, constitutes another successful public relations exercise for the UAE and its leadership. For the past decade, the UAE government has been keen to present itself as a model for the region by emphasizing that reform is preferable to revolutionary change and that order and stability are superior to democracy.
