Kuwaiti women earn 73% of men's wages
The data shows that the gender pay gap in Kuwait stands at 26.7% at the average salary level, with Kuwaitis earning approximately 1,877 Kuwaiti dinars per month compared to 1,376 dinars for Kuwaiti women, resulting in a monthly difference of 501 dinars. The gap widens in the private sector to reach 32.2%. Despite women constituting about half of the national workforce at 48.9%, the income disparity persists, and figures confirm that Kuwaiti women receive lower salaries despite their numerical parity with men. This raises discussions about the types and positions of work they hold and their level of access to senior roles.
