Accessed in May Data for and are from CAPMAS (2014), Egypt in Figures Note: The dependency ratios are the age to population ratios of those typically not in the labor force (i.e. the dependents) and those typically in the labor force (exemplified by the workingage population, i.e. those aged 1564 years). The child dependency ratio is the ratio between the population aged 014 to population aged 1564, multiplied by 100. The old age dependency ratio is the ratio between the populations aged 65 and older to the population aged 1564, multiplied by 100. The total dependency ratio is the ratio of the sum of the dependent population (aged 014 years and 65 or older years) to the population of working age, 1564 years, multiplied by 100. The figures reflect the number of dependents in the population for every 100 persons of working age. 5

Accessed in May Note: The total fertility rate is the average number of children per woman, and reflects the average number of live births that a woman would have by age 50 if she were subject, throughout her life, to the agespecific fertility rates observed in the reference year/period. The fertility rates from the Egypt Demographic and Health Surveys refer to the threeyear period before the survey. Table 1.10 Age specific fertility rates, Age Group 2003 (births per 1,000 women) Source: Egypt Demographic and Health Survey,. Accessed in May Note: The agespecific fertility rate measures the number of births to women of a specified age or age group per 1,000 women in that age group, in a specific year/period. The fertility rates from the Egypt Demographic and Health Surveys refer to the threeyear period before the survey. 6

Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate gives the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration, per 1,000 population (at midyear).

Note: The crude birth rate indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population (at midyear). The crude death rate is the number of deaths occurring during the year, per 1,000 population (at midyear). Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration, per 1,000 population (at midyear). 7

The net migration rate is the number of immigrants minus the number of emigrants over a period divided by the personyears lived by the population of the receiving country over that period. It is expressed as the net number of migrants per 1,000 population. 10
