Population and Labor Force in Egypt, Egypt 2020 Project • The Policy Project, Egypt's Population Projections, 2000-2017 • CAPMAS, Egypt’s Population Projections,1996-2021 • CDC Egypt’s Population Projections, 1996-2021
I. Egypt 2020 Egypt 2020 project conducted a study on population and labor force in Egypt, which started by population projections for each of the 6 regions separately: urban governorates, urban lower Egypt, rural lower Egypt, urban upper Egypt, rural upper Egypt, frontier governorates. 5 different political scenarios
Main assumptions: Fertility: fertility level will decrease over time and the pace of change will differ across regions and by political scenarios. Mortality: Life expectancy will increase over time and the pace of change will differ by political scenarios. Internal migration: mobility between the 6 regions will differ by political scenarios in terms of direction and magnitude. International migration was not considered.
II. The Policy Project The Policy project in Egypt conducted a study on “Egypt population projections 2000-2017” in 2002. 1996 Population census of Egypt was taken as a base year for the projection using Spectrum software package.
Main assumptions: Mortality component: the model life table used is the UN General model. Migration component :the net migration is assumed to be negligible. Fertility: it was assumed that there would be three assumptions for total fertility rates along the period (2000-2017) as follow:
Assumed TFR High assumption: TFR reach replacement level fertility (TFR=2.1) in 2017. Medium assumption: TFR reach replacement level fertility (TFR=2.1) in 2027. And the expected TFR for 2017 =2.5 Low assumption: TFR will remain constant at its level (3.5) in 2000 up to 2017
III. CAPMAS, Egypt’s Population Projections,1996-2021 The Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistic conducted a project labeled “Impact of population increase on development in Egypt” which included population projections based on 1996 census.
Main assumptions: Fertility component: it was assumed that there would be two assumptions for total fertility rates along the period (1996-2021) : High assumption: fertility would be constant along the period Low assumption: fertility would achieve 2.09 in 2021
Main assumptions: Migration component was neglected.
