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

9

Main assumptions: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. II. The Policy ProjectThe 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.

14

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:

15

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 =2.5Low 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

20

Main assumptions:

Migration component was neglected.
