Qatar - home to the most exotic population in the world

Qatar's population is not fixed but is always changing. Speed ​​is so fast that population statistics must be carried out . every month.

Located on the Arabian Peninsula, Qatar country with an area of ​​more than 11,000 km ² possesses oil resources - the world's top gas, is the destination of many people. Tourists have, people do business, people do not have to work because . too much.

According to GDP per capita, Qatar is the highest income country in the world at the moment, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Some people say it is fun, want to make Qatar people very easy, to make Qataris (English called Qataris) difficult.

Population statistics every month

Anyone who lives in Qatar will count towards the country's population. In fact, this calculation is not too unusual, even it is literally true of the population as "the number of people living in a certain geographical area or space".

However, strange here is that once every month, Qatar "tally" the population once because the speed changes so fast!

Even more strange when the proportion of non-Qataris is always overwhelming in statistics, accounting for more than 80% of the population of this country. This fact has existed since Qatar gained independence from Britain in 1971 until now.

As of the end of May 2017, Qatar's total population was 2,700,539 people, compared with a month earlier, Qatar's population has increased by more than 25,000, according to Qatar's Ministry of Planning and Statistics Development.

As of the beginning of the year, Qatar's population has increased by 124,358 people.

This comes from the fact that Qatar's population is mainly immigrants or citizens of the countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) who reside. Most of them are laborers from Asian countries like India, Nepal, Philippines.

Although the proportion of Qatar citizens is not constant, but always stable, about 313,000 people as of the beginning of 2017, accounting for about 11.5% of the population. This is the lowest rate since 2004, even only half of Indian immigrants (650,000 people).

There is an interesting, unintentional or unspoken rule that the ratio of men and women in Qatar is always maintained at 3 men - 1 female.

Speaking of which, if a person set foot in Qatar and had a chance to live for more than a month, they would become Qatar citizens without knowing it.

Are people of the highest income country in the world happy? Very good, but the type of language that has no pieces because the money mountain is in the pockets of the Qatar bosses.

It is difficult for Qataris to be

So who is Qataris after all? Ignoring the historical elements, they are now rich owners of oil and new citizens.

New born children in Qatar, if they do not know the father or mother will not be counted as citizens of the country. Meanwhile, if there is a Qatarese father, the child, no matter where he is born in the world, will automatically become a citizen of the country. This rule does not apply to individuals with Qatarese mothers.

So a normal, unfriendly foreigner in Qatar wants to be a Qatari? The answer is yes, but need to reside in this country for at least 25 consecutive years, the intermittent time must not exceed 6 months, then need to know Arabic and have a legitimate career to support yourself. If you are an Arab citizen, it only takes 15 years to become a Qatar citizen.

It is so hard, but once you become a Qatar citizen, these people will be well cared for by the government. Public sector jobs are very well paid; Social welfare from health to education, pensions or unemployment benefits is fully guaranteed. Some people said that the Qatar government proved very cool and ready to use money to "buy" the loyalty of citizens.

Flexible but not sustainable

The Qatar government must admit a rapidly growing population is posing many challenges to the country from infrastructure (low-income social housing) to cultural differences, especially economics.

There is no denying the contribution of foreigners living and working in Qatar. However, "if for any reason a large number of foreigners leave Qatar, not only will labor productivity decline, delayed projects that are worse will create a secondary decline. granted to the economy when their expenditures are lost , " wrote the Qatar government's human development report 2015. This concern explains partly why Qatar has not expelled the people in the GCC despite being cut off diplomatic relations by Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates on June 5.

As of the end of 2016, there are about 2,000 Vietnamese people living and working in Qatar.
