 Population
2006 Census
Dubai’s
population has hit 1,321,453 according to the latest census conducted on
population (8 December 2006), residential units and establishments in the
emirate.
Of the total
Dubaipopulation, 74.86 per cent or 989,305 are male and 25.14 per cent or 332,148
are female.
The statistics
were announced by Dubai Statistics Centre, which pointed out that the increase
in the number of male population reflects on the increased pace of
construction and economic activities, for which a big number of unskilled
labourers are brought to the emirate.
The
census also revealed that the majority of the population comprises people in
the age group of 30-34 years. This category amounts to 256,638 or 19.42 per
cent. This category was only 139,106 in the year 2000, which shows that there
has been an increase of 84.49 per cent in the last five years.
The next big
category in the population is people in the age group of 25-29 years. This
group’s population is 256,384 or 19.40 per cent. This category was only
136,622 in the year 2000, which shows that there has been an increase of 87.66
per cent in the last five years.
People in the
age group of 35-39 years are the third big category. This group’s population
is 195,987 or 14.83 per cent. This category was 126,490 in the year 2000,
which shows that there has been an increase of 54.94 per cent in the last five
years.
The reason
behind the increased population in these categories is attributed to the big
leap in the construction and economic projects that require foreign labour
force in big number.
