Abstract:

This report examines trends in key population and health indicators in Egypt during the period 1980-1995. It draws upon the results of a series of national-level household surveys conducted in Egypt during this 15-year period. These surveys include the 1980 Egypt Fertility Survey (EFS), the 1984 Egypt Contraceptive Prevalence Survey (ECPS), the three rounds of the Egypt Demographic and Health (EDHS), which were conducted in 1988, 1992, and 1995, respectively, and the 1991 Egypt Maternal Child Health Survey (EMCHS). More information is provided on these surveys in the section on the data sources at the end of this report.
