That population pyramid is striking. Am I correct in inferring that many of the guest workers seem to be staying long term?

I assume so, but I don’t know exactly how they decide if someone belongs in one country’s population or the other. I’ll have look, there must be a clear definition.

Update: The World Population Prospects primarily uses the "de facto" population which counts all people physically present in the territory at a given time, including temporary residents, for example migrant workers.

Absolutely terrific analysis and data!

If we add that 90% of the population is foreign, it is actually insane demographic scenario.

Thank you for this!

Thanks so much, Edi! Yeah, you're right. The fact that 90% of the population is foreign makes the gender imbalance even more striking. Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
