Abstract
Egypt's general population growth since 1805 is reviewed, with particular reference to the effect of changes in fertility and mortality since 1906 and factors affecting these variables. The rapidity of mortality decline is stressed and the nature of the “epidemiological transition” considered. In the light of population projections Egypt's population policies are described, and the diffusion of family planning since 1965 particularly is examined on a governorate basis. Finally, the success of the Population and Development Project set up in 1977 in instituting a radically new approach to family planning is presented.
