Problems of Kuwaiti Youth: A Field Study at Kuwait University as a Model

Abstract

The aim of the current research is to investigate the degree of prevalence of social problems facing Kuwait University students from the point of view of a sample of students from different faculties of the university, and to explore the impact of a number of variables upon these problems, especially problems related to social conditions, and this includes a series of problems in the Kuwaiti university youth community. To this end, a questionnaire was designed to investigate the various problems facing university youth and the location of the problems among them, and it was applied to a sample of Kuwait University students, in order to scientifically reveal the nature of these problems. The results confirmed that social problems are the most common, and there is a relationship between the problems and the age group (18-28), and the social status category (married), which is in favor of females more than males. In the final analysis, a group of recommendations were given to help constructing appropriate solutions to these problems, and the challenges facing Kuwait University students.
