The Kuwaiti government’s approval of a child allowance for working women in the private sector is a significant step towards supporting Kuwaiti women who are juggling professional careers with family responsibilities. This policy aligns the benefits for working women in the private sector with those available in the public sector, promoting gender equality in the workplace. Under this initiative, working mothers will receive child support if their husbands are unable to meet their financial responsibilities towards their children due to factors like irregular income or lack of public assistance. This move reflects the government’s recognition of the pivotal role women play as both professionals and caregivers, further advancing inclusivity and support for working mothers in Kuwait.
