Preferred term

population pressure on education in the Middle East  

Definition

  • Despite declining fertility rates, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) population size increased fourfold in the second half of the 20th century. One consequence of this demographic explosion is a notably young population where two in every three people currently living in the region is under the age of 24.
