ANNEXED NOTE               

 

  1. Technical Notes and Definitions

 

The table provides mid-year estimates of Bahrain’s total resident population (nationals and non-nationals) by age group, based on the results of census 2020.

 

Census 2020 implementation method:

Census 2020 was conducted solely on the basis of administrative records on the de jure population of the Kingdom.

 

Population of reference: all individuals (nationals and non-nationals) usually present within the State’s borders during time of reference.

 

The nationality of the person is defined by the passport used to enter the country. A non-Bahraini is considered as such depending on the passport used to enter the country (or obtain the visa)
