Population projections for Egypt were made using data from surveys and census reports. The researchers used a method that looks at factors like mortality and fertility rates to predict future population trends. They found that life expectancy is expected to increase by 2026, with women living longer than men. The total fertility rate has decreased, leading to a projected decline in the proportion of young people in the population. Depending on different fertility assumptions, the population is estimated to reach around 83-92 million by 2021. These projections also consider the impact on education levels in different age groups.
