Question

Compared to world standards, how would you describe the UAE crude birth rate, crude death rate, and infant mortality rate?

Answer 1

1. Crude birth rate indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.

• The current birth rate for Uae in 2020 is 10.200 births per 1000 people, a 0.88% decline from 2019.
• The birth rate for Uae in 2019 was 10.291 births per 1000 people, a 0.87% decline from 2018.

2. Number of deaths over a given period divided by the person-years lived by the population over that period. It is expressed as number of deaths per 1,000 population. In 2019, crude death rate for United Arab Emirates was 1.52 deaths per thousand population. Crude death rate of United Arab Emirates fell gradually from 7.48 deaths per thousand population in 1970 to 1.52 deaths per thousand population in 2019.

3. Infant deaths per 1,000 live births. Both sexes combined. Probability of dying between birth and exact age 1. It is expressed as deaths per 1,000 births. In 2018, infant mortality rate for United Arab Emirates was 5.43 deaths per thousand live births. Infant mortality rate of United Arab Emirates fell gradually from 77.26 deaths per thousand live births in 1969 to 5.43 deaths per thousand live births in 2018.

• Male: 12 deaths/1,000 births
• Female: 8.5 deaths/1,000 births
• Total: 10.3 deaths/1,000 births (2016 est.)
