The study aims to address the social changes that occur to the elderly from the point of view of the Emirati youth. The study includes young people from the UAE in the age group of 18-25, of both sexes, and concludes important results about the fact that UAE youth view the elderly positively regardless of the changes surrounding society at the level of extended and small families. The study also shows us some indicators associated with this effect in terms of place (city or village) and the level of per capita income, and that the extended family receives more attention and care for the elderly than the other group. Finally, it concludes that the UAE youth have a greater interest in preserving inherited values and traditions in a way that enhances positive citizenship.
