Abstract

Demographic profile plays a significant role in all plans and strategies which are produced to promote women’s economic empowerment; it is very important for the decision and policy makers to know population distribution by age and sex, as the economic empowerment is intertwined with the demographic and social profile.

This chapter provides background on the trends of the most important demographic characteristics during the last decades, for example, Age and sex distributions, population distribution by place of residence among the main regions in Egypt, fertility and mortality levels, demographic transition and demographic window.
