According to statistics, the average annual income of Iraqis at that time reached $5,500, which can be regarded as a relatively high level in the Middle East.
At the same time, Iraq's social security system is very good, and everyone has the right to free health care and education.
During Saddam's time, Iraq's national oil industry developed rapidly, and oil resources brought great wealth.
By nationalizing the petroleum industry, the government uses oil revenues to promote the country's economy and invests in social welfare to improve people's living conditions.
Almost every family in and around Iraq's cities has a house and a car, and free health care and education have freed the people from the burden.
During Saddam's time, state investment in infrastructure was also huge.
Iraq has an advanced public transport system, quality water and electricity facilities and sound urban planning.
High-rise buildings, modern shopping malls and luxurious recreational facilities in the heart of the city undoubtedly demonstrate the improvement of the living standards of the Iraqi people.
At that time, the Iraqi people generally had stable jobs, high wages, and rich social benefits.
Although Iraq was a multi-ethnic country, the government of the day eliminated inequalities between ethnic groups through a fair distribution of resources, ensuring that everyone could enjoy the same treatment.
However, we cannot ignore the dark side behind Saddam's time. The Saddam regime ruled with extreme cruelty, severely suppressing human rights and freedom of expression.
Government persecution and repression of dissent became the norm, and people's lives and freedoms were greatly threatened.
Moreover, although the average annual income of the Iraqi people is relatively high, the inequality between the rich and the poor cannot be ignored.
Some wealthy families enjoy a high quality of life, while others remain below the poverty line.
This social division, which has led to social instability and inequality, is a dark trace of Saddam's regime.
In general, Iraqis under Saddam Hussein lived relatively well, with a high average annual income and a car and a house.
However, behind this affluence lies the regime's brutal rule and social inequality.
Today, Iraq has ushered in a series of changes and challenges, and it is hoped that the Iraqi people of the future can enjoy a more stable and prosperous life.
