Why is there no mention of Egypt's 4 Nobel Prize laureats? Anwar Sadaat, Naguib Mahfouz, Ahmed Zowail and now Mohammad El-Baradei of the IAEA. Egypt does not even show on your list of countries with Nobel Prize laureats total or per capita. |

In response to Heba: The net migration rate of Egypt is -0.23 migrants per 1000 population. This means there are more people leaving Egypt than arriving there. The primary reason for leaving Egypt is economic (mostly men), followed by family reasons (mostly women). Those who leave Egypt tend to be highly educated professionals, often doctors, engineers, and teachers who generally go to other arab states (such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan and Libya), North America or Europe. This trend reached a peak in the early 1980's and is currently slowing. Egypt also has a significant number of immigrants, particularly asylum seekers from Sudan who continue to arrive at a rate of over 500 individuals per month. Sudanese refugees make up 75% of all refugees in Egypt. |

In response to Gordo and Emily: The population of Egypt is 74,718,797 (according to the July 2003 estimate) with a population growth rate of 1.88% so the population in 2005 is likely to be around 77.5 million. Currently, Egypt has a young population, however as life expectency increases and the birth rate decreases, ths is expected to change. These changes are displayed on the age distribution pyramids for Egypt. |

Emily, the estimated population of 74,718,797 from July 2003 that appears on the page with population statistics is probably the most current population figure available, since governments usually only conduct a census once every five to 10 years. If you want to make an educated guess as to what the population was in 2004, simply use the population growth rate of 1.88 percent from 2003 and do the calculations. |

Nationmaster seldom has past data - they only keep current figures (The only exception I have noticed is GDP - which is ok). The closest you'd get would be http://www.nationmaster.com/country/eg/Age_distribution |

Do you have a graph of Egypt's population growing each year? |
