Today, Sunday, the Iraqi Ministry of Planning and Development Cooperation estimated the population of Iraq at the end of the current year 2021, indicating that the capital, Baghdad, is the most populous province, while noting that the country's population growth is still high.

The official spokesman for the ministry, Abdul-Zahra Al-Hindawi, said that "the population of Iraq, according to the population estimates of the Central Bureau of Statistics, will be more than 41 million at the end of 2021."

Al-Hindawi added that “the capital, Baghdad, ranked first in terms of population, as it is expected that the population in it will be between 8.750 million to 8.800 million people, followed by Nineveh in the second place, with up to 4 million people, and then Basra third with more than 3 million people, and then comes Dhi Qar, Babil and Sulaymaniyah with more than two million people,” noting that “the least populated governorates is the Muthanna governorate, with 860 thousand people.”

Al-Hindawi pointed out that "the annual population growth rate of 2.6 percent is still high, despite its decline from 3.5 percent ten years ago, as converting this percentage to a number, we are talking about the size of an annual population increase ranging from 850,000 to one million people annually," explaining Iraq is the second largest population growth among the Arab countries after Egypt.

Al-Hindawi pointed out that "the Ministry of Planning, in order to reduce the impact of the increasing population growth and take advantage of this increase, started years ago by integrating the population dimension into development plans, and also developed long-term population policies."

He explained that "these policies are based on a set of tracks aimed at transforming population increases from a burden on development to effective development policies, including attention to youth, which is the largest segment through empowering them and providing them with job opportunities, as well as providing housing and the health track by providing better health conditions and the education track. The path of providing services and infrastructure, the path of women and their empowerment, and the path of partnership with the private sector.”

The last population census was conducted in Iraq in 1997, and over the past 15 years, the political forces did not agree to conduct the census, which is the basis for distributing wealth in the country, drawing development plans, evaluating their results, and setting correct plans for reconstruction.

As much as I would like this to count as the census, I don't think it will be adequate for the HCL. They will need more accurate info so they can properly send the oil revenue to the households. Just my opinion
