POPULATION PYRAMID
ANALYSIS
Overall Shape: The pyramid has a broad base, tapering towards the
top. This indicates a large young population and a smaller elderly
population, which is characteristic of a rapidly growing population.
Gender Imbalance: The pyramid shows a significant imbalance
between males and females. The male population is much larger
across all age groups, particularly in the working-age range (20-50
years old). This is likely due to a high number of foreign workers in
the UAE, who are predominantly male.
High Youth Dependency: The wide base of the pyramid, particularly
on the male side, indicates a high number of children and young
adults. This means a large portion of the population depends on
the working-age population for support.
Foreign Workers: The large number of young males likely reflects
the significant presence of foreign workers in the UAE. These
workers tend to be in the working-age category and come to the
UAE for employment opportunities.
Birth Rate: The broad base of the pyramid also suggests a
relatively high birth rate in the UAE. This contributes to the rapid
population growth in the country.
Infant mortality rate: the graph shows a generally decreasing trend over
time, which suggests a positive development. This could be attributed to
factors like improved healthcare access for mothers and newborns,
prenatal care, and public health initiatives. If available, consulting data from
the World Health Organization (WHO) or the United Arab Emirates National
Bureau of Statistics would provide more specific infant mortality rates.
Fertility rate: The fertility rate in the United Arab Emirates has been declining
over the past few decades, according to the line graph you sent. While the

Negative Impacts: Rapid population growth can strain resources like housing, water, and infrastructure.
Overall Analysis:
The UAE's birth rate and death rate contribute to its rapid population growth. This presents both opportunities and challenges for the
country. The government will need to find ways to manage this growth effectively to ensure the well-being of its citizens.
