Egypt’s Population Is Expected to Hit 157 Million by 2050
A recent study concluded that Egypt’s population is expected to reach 157 Million by the beginning of the year 2050. This study was done by Egypt’s National Population Council (NPC). This increase is considered to be “alarming” and that “precautions should be taken starting today” expressed Tarek Tawfik, Head of NPC.
These figures are estimated given the current birthrate in the country. However, NPC stated thatEgyptian families should apply the “Two Children Only”. If applied correctly the number will be reduced to 142 Million by 2050.
Tawfik added that their awareness campaigns were focused on Cairo and the Delta Governorates. Adding that the main issue is coming out of Upper Egypt, where the campaigns are not really getting through.
