| description |
The schooling disruption caused by
COVID-19 in Kuwait is among the longest in the world. Using
the similarities between the schooling disruptions due to
the Gulf War and the schooling disruption due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, this note shows that students in school
during the COVID-19 pandemic face significant reductions in
the present value of their lifetime income. Furthermore, the
findings show that students in higher grades during the
pandemic are likely to face larger reductions in lifetime
earnings than students in lower grades. Kuwaiti females in
secondary school who will become civil service workers face
a reduction of close to $40,000. The corresponding reduction
for males is more than $70,000. |
