Several governments in the Middle East – Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Bahrain – have the practice of paying stipends to private citizens. Why? This is a relic of the oil economy but inflation makes it ever so difficult now.
Remember that only Science creates jobs – at least jobs in large numbers!
(Professors of humanities create jobs of more professors of humanities!)
