In 2014, the estimated population of Oman is 4,013,391.
Let's paint a clearer picture...
"The estimated 2014 population of 4,013,391 is a sharp increase over the 2010 census of 2.77 million. Nearly 50% of the population lives in Muscat and the Batinah coastal plain northwest of Muscat, while 200,000 live in the southern region. There are about 30,000 people in the remote Musandam Peninsula."
And a little more specific "The largest city and capital is Muscat, with a population of around 800,000."
Let' Break it down even further with how the pie is actually cut "Many Omani are from Baluchistan and the Swahili coast, and there are about 600,000 foreigners, mostly guest workers from Egypt, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and the Philippines."
What does all this breaks down to? Foreigners presently make up about 39 percent of the Omani population of about 3.3 million, but they account for nearly 90 percent of all workers in the private sector, according to figures announced by the Manpower Ministry.
And the verdict is out..
"Oman has announced it intends to cut its expatriate population by 6 percentage points, or 200,000 people."
What does this spell out to you? thought? Would want to see the prospective from an Economist (Other Oman?)
