While Kuwait is globally renowned as one of the wealthiest nations per capita due to massive sovereign oil revenues and a generous public welfare system for native citizens, absolute poverty among native Kuwaiti citizens is extremely rare. The state provides extensive financial benefits, free healthcare, subsidized housing, public sector employment guarantees, and monthly allowances that protect citizens from destitution. However, financial strain can still affect certain vulnerable demographics, such as low-income expatriate workers, undocumented residents known as Bidoons, or households struggling with personal debt management.
