ANNEXED NOTE

1, Technical Notes and Definitions

The table provides intercensal mid-year estimates of Bahrain’s total resident population (nationals and non-nationals)
Reference period: mid-year
Population of reference: all nationals and non-nationals in the country
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)
* Total populations for nationals and non-nationals are summed using male and female population figures. Several of the calculated totals differ from the CIO reported total by one or two individuals.
