Demographics of Kuwait

Crowd of Kuwaiti spectators

This is a demography of the population of Kuwait (Template:Langx).

Expatriates account for around 60% of Kuwait's total population, with Kuwaitis constituting 38%-42% of the total population. The government and some Kuwaiti citizens consider the proportion of expatriates (which has been relatively stable since the mid-1970s) to be a problem, and in 2016 the number of deportations increased. Most were deported for outstaying their residency permits but others also for traffic offences.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
