Kuwait is currently in stage 3 of the demographic transition model. This is characterized by the high birth rate (18 per 1000) and low death rate (3 per 1000). Birth rates are not extremely high as they would be in stage 2. The high life expectancy at birth also shows characteristic of stage 3 as medical technology has been improved which would also cause the low death rate.
