A previous study conducted by the Ministry of Planning states that a family of six with an income of:
- up to KD720/month is considered under the poverty line
- KD 720 - 1440/month is considered a low income family
- KD 1440 - 2160/month is considered an average household
- KD 2160 - 2880/month is considered a high income family
The living standards differ dramatically between geographical regions in Kuwait. A ’low’ and ‘average’ income household would heavily depend on government subsidies such as health care, education, and housing. If there is a plan in place for the post-oil era it must be slowly implemented today to decrease the dependency on oil by the citizens.
Thanks for posting this..
I wonder how much each catagory of these families takes out in loans.
Thanks again.
So the ministry of planning thinks that the difference between AVERAGE houseold and HIGH INCOME houselhold is 720 KD?!! (2160-2880kd)
No wonder this country is in the shithole.
