Reader: Why do salaries depend on the passport you have?

I would like to raise a concern many Asian expats are facing and want to clear the doubts.

I studied and graduated from the UK with high credentials, my English language skill is native fluent. I worked for a few multinational companies around the world and have immense soft skills and expertise.

So why is it that employers in UAE pay more money to an English- speaking passport holder who has less credentials, experience and soft skills?

We both work on the same level yet I have more responsibility workwise and train him/her as well, so this is unfair.

This salary band system offering more salary to English-speaking passport holders has to stop as it demotivates me.
