Notes

The Egypt Population (Live) counter shows a continuously updated estimate of the current population of
Egypt delivered by Worldometer's RTS algorithm, which processes data collected from the United
Nations Population Division.

The Population of Egypt (1950 - 2019) chart plots the total population count as of July 1 of each year,
from 1950 to 2019.

The Yearly Population Growth Rate chart plots the annual percentage changes in population registered
on July 1 of each year, from 1951 to 2019. This value can differ from the Yearly % Change shown in the
historical table, which shows the last year equivalent percentage change assuming homogeneous change
in the preceding five year period.

Definitions

Year: as of July 1 of the year indicated.

Population: Overall total population (both sexes and all ages) in the country as of July 1 of the year
indicated, as estimated by the United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population
Division. World Population Prospects: The 2019 Revision. For forecasted years, the U.N. medium-fertility
variant is used.
