Egipte: Compra i venda
The population of Egypt was over 104 million people in July 2020 and is growing at a rate of 2.28%. 42.8% of the population lives in cities, and the urbanisation rate is1.86% annually.
Most of the country is desert, so about 95% of the population is concentrated in a narrow strip of fertile land along the Nile River, which represents only about 5% of Egypt’s land area. Egypt’s rapid population growth stresses limited natural resources, jobs, housing, sanitation, education, and health care.
The median age is 24.1 years; 33.6% of the population is under 14 years, 18% of the population is between 15 and 24 years, 37.8% of the population is between 35 and 54 years and 6% of the population is between 55 and 64 years old, and 4.5% of the population is 65 years old or over. There are 1.05 men per woman. The average household size is 4.6 people; 6% of households only count one person, 30% of households count 2 or 3 people, and 43% of households count 4 or 5 people and 2% of households count 6 or more people. Women have significantly lower participation in the labour force than men (26% vs 79%) and lower literacy (65% literacy for women vs 82% of males). 80.8% of the population aged 15 or over can read and write.
Education is compulsory for 9 academic years between the ages of 4 and 14. Moreover, all levels of education are free within any government run schools. According to the World Bank, there are great differences in educational attainment of the rich and the poor, also known as the "wealth gap". Egypt has a very extensive higher education system. About 30% of all Egyptians in the relevant age group go to university. However, only half of them graduate. Many schools have poor infrastructure with around 1 in 5 school buildings unfit for use, lacking functional water and sanitation facilities.
