Death Statistics Of 2014 - 5819 Died In Kuwait
According to death statistics of 2014, 5,819 death cases were registered last year out of which 3,186 cases were of Kuwaiti citizens and 2,633 of expatriates. The total population of the country has reached 4.202 million out of which 1.298 million are Kuwaiti citizens.
Sociology Expert Dr. Mohammad Al-Mohannadi explained that the death rate among Kuwaitis is higher than that among expatriates due to a number of reasons such as the deaths among elderly Kuwaitis and traffic accidents that take the lives of youths because of their recklessness.
Most of the expatriates residing in Kuwait are young and healthy, as they are forced to undergo medical examinations when they enter the country to ensure they are not suffering from any chronic or contagious diseases. Meanwhile, regarding the birth rate, Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) issued statistics to reveal that the number of births in Kuwait in 2014 was 60,148 out of which 33,861 births were of Kuwaitis.
