Maj. Gen. Khairat Barakat, head of the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS), said that the Egyptian state is currently facing a number of difficult challenges, foremost of which is the population problem. Barakat added that in light of the numbers that the agency constantly monitors, it can know the daily population census at the level of the Republic in all its governorates.
He revealed that the number of births per day reaches 6 thousand, most of them in the governorates of Upper Egypt.
Barakat explained that the devices of the CAPMAS display numbers on a permanent and periodic basis aim to inform everyone about the challenges faced by the Egyptian state, noting that divorce cases occur in Egyptian society every 2.2 minutes, and every minute a marriage occurs.
He continued to say that divorce figures at the state level annually reach 250,000 cases, and marriages annually reach 890,000 marriages. "We have 2.1 million births annually, and we seek to reduce birth rates annually."
