Abstract

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