Congratulations, Misr. We’re up to 93.332 mn citizens according to a CAPMAS statement commemorating World Population Day. This compares to 92.1 mn citizens in the beginning of 2017 and 72.8 mn in 2006, when the last census took place. 51% of the Egyptian population is male and 31.3% of Egyptians are younger than 15 years old, while only 4.3% are aged 65 or older as of January 2017. Cairo is also the most populated governorate, with 9.6 mn residents. We certainly don’t doubt that.
