ANNEXED NOTE

1. Technical Notes and Definitions

The table provides figures of Bahrain’s total employed population (nationals and non-nationals) based on their employed status and sex at the date of the 1981′ census.
Reference period: the 1981 specific census date is unknown.
Population of reference: all individuals (nationals and non-nationals) present within the country’s borders during time of reference.
Implementation method: the Censuses are carried out according to de jure methodology, i.e. counting persons using their usual place of residence irrespective of where are they at census times.
Nationality of the person is defined by the passport used to enter the country. A Non-Bahrainis is considered as such depending on the passport used to enter the country (or obtain the visa)
