CAIRO – 26 April 2022: Egypt's Population Record hit Monday 103,250,000 with an increase of 250,0000, in just two months, up from 103 million in February 22. Equally, the rate of population increase must be compatible with the economy's ability to achieve a high level of human development, and reduce unemployment. The former official pointed out that although Egypt began combating overpopulation in 1965, but not much has been achieved. He added that the government should benefit from the political leadership's desire to reduce the annual population increase from over two million to 400,000 by formulating and implementing relevant effective strategies. Hassan had stated in October that the Egyptian population grew by half a million in the previous 100 days.
