Foreigners Constitute Over Two-thirds Of Kuwait’s Population

Recent statistics from the Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI), which provides insight into Kuwait’s population dynamics,
The ratio of one Kuwaiti to every three foreigners has prevailed in the country for quite a while now, except during the COVID-19 period, when a large number of expatriates left the country. In 2021, following the end of the pandemic and a revival of the economy, expatriate numbers increased to levels that currently surpass the pre-COVID era.
Despite the government’s Kuwaitization drive and other measures intended to balance the demographic equation, a heavy influx of foreign workers, along with a falling birth-rate among citizens, has ensured that the population continues to remain tilted in favor of foreigners.
