On 1 August Egypt marked National Population Day. The Ministry of Health and Population held an event sponsored by Khaled Abdel-Ghaffar, Minister of High Education and Acting Minister of Health, that featured participation of all authorities concerned with population issues in Egypt.

Spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, Hossam Abdel-Ghaffar announced the latest population figures: Egypt’s birth rate, he said, has been reduced from 30.2 / 1000 in 2015 to 21.2 / 1000 in 2021.

According to Deputy Health Minister Tarek Tawfik, the Egyptian government has adopted policies and programmes with the aim of supporting the economic empowerment of women, leading to a reduction in the unemployment among women from 24.2 per cent in 2015 to 16 per cent in 2021. The unemployment rate in general was reduced from 13 per cent in 2014 to 7.4 per cent in 2021.

Watani started as an Egyptian weekly Sunday newspaper published in Cairo. The word Watani is Arabic for “My Homeland”. The paper was founded in 1958 by the prominent Copt Antoun Sidhom (1915 – 1995), who strove for the establishment of a civil, democratic society in Egypt, where all Egyptians would enjoy full citizenship rights regardless of their religious denomination. To this day when Watani is published as a weekly paper and an online news site, the objective remains the same. Those in charge of Watani view this role as a patriotic all-Egyptian vocation. Special attention is given to shedding light on Coptic culture and tradition as authentically Egyptian, this being a topic largely disregarded or little-understood by Egypt’s media. Watani is deeply dedicated to offer its readers high quality, extensive, objective, credible and well-researched media coverage, with special focus on Coptic issues, culture, heritage, and contribution to Egyptian society.
