Are the residents of Bahrain poor?

The residents of Bahrain possess lower economic freedom compared to many countries. There are declines in business freedoms. Since Bahrain imposes no taxes on personal income, the public debt is over 90% of the country’s output, which is its GDP. Most companies are not subject to corporate tax; however, a 46% tax is enforced upon its vast majority of companies.

Bahrain itself is not a particular developing country, but there is a considerable gap between the rich and the poor. Those who are excluded from government jobs are among the poorest of society. The members of the elite make up the ruling class, and the poor are often uneducated and treated callously by Bahrain’s elite ruling class.

Poverty is something that exists in Bahrain as it does all over the world. There are some countries that are considered first-world such as the United States but you will see that there are still a lot of homeless people on the streets. In Bahrain, there are two denominations of Islam namely the Shia and Sunni. These two groups have different views on the readings that they believe in.

The lack of unity in the country may be one of the reasons why the country has not achieved greater heights yet. The Royal family follows the Sunni denomination but since most average people follow the Shia, they are not given priority even if they have a lot to offer. People in Bahrain would need to work on their skills more so that the country can progress.
