These services include schools and organizations for children and adults who are mentally or physically disabled, those with learning disabilities, those who are autistic, and those who are deaf or blind. Kuwait also provides many social, athletic, and artistic opportunities for the disabled, both Kuwaiti and non-Kuwaiti.

Besides medical services, the Kuwaiti government sponsors a comprehensive range of social service and welfare programs.
Nationals are virtually guaranteed employment in the government sector.
Education at all levels, including university, is also free to all citizens, although private schooling is not free of charge. Several other benefits enjoyed by Kuwaiti citizens include a retirement income, marriage bonuses, and housing loans. All these subsidies and government services are made possible by government revenues, mostly from oil and from foreign investments. For example, medical care at government-run clinics and hospitals is generally provided free of charge or at a low cost to all residents of Kuwait, including foreigners. Before the Iraqi invasion, comprehensive services were provided for Kuwaitis and non-Kuwaitis relatively equally.
