Population

The section provides a detailed portrait of population size and composition according to age, sex, place of residence (urban/rural) and nationality (if relevant) based on the last two censuses in each country, with the exception of Lebanon which conducted its last population census in 1932. It should be noted that almost all ESCWA member countries in the region have been undertaking a population census every ten years. Population figures from the 2000 census round were made available from 16 ESCWA member countries, and figures from the 2010 census round were made available from 10 countries.
