Qatar is a country that is located off of the Persian Gulf. It has a population of 2,314,307 people as of July 2017 and the average age of the people is 25-54. The population is high compared to how small the country is. It is smaller than Connecticut and bigger than Delaware.
All of the population is forced to labor and to a lower force, prostitution. Migrants are legally forced to work in poor conditions and get a low pay rate. They are forced to give up passports and are unable to live in poor quality homes. Women are forced into prostitution sometimes.
The population of the men that age is 1,359,383 hundred. The women only have 274,334 people. I found this interesting because most countries have a close to similar rate of men and women and for the population of men and women.This is because of immigration. With that more men immigrated to Qatar than women which explains why there are very few compared to the men.
There are 67.7% are Muslim and 13.8% are Christian or Hindu, and 3.1% are Buddhist, 0.1% of folk religion, 0.1% are Jewish, 0.7% are other and 0.9% unaffiliated. I found that Qatar was close to the more Muslim countries. However, I found it interesting that there are a good bit of Jews in Qatar. It was interesting because you would not expect people with the Jewish religion because it is not really one of those countries.
Their growth rate is 2.27% the birth rate is 9.6 births per 1,000, and the death rate is 1.5 per 1,000. The N.M.R. is 14.6 per 1,000. This is related to what we are doing in class. The birth rate is super high, which means that the population is growing rapidly. The death rate is way lower than the birth rate.
Listing just the five facts, but not including an explanatory paragraph for each, means you only did half of the 10-point assignment.
