The Kingdom of Bahrain has taken pioneering steps in the field of women's empowerment, de-

veloping women’s capabilities and enabling their participation in society. Through statistical

data, a clear vision of the current situation of women in the Kingdom of Bahrain is portrayed

throughout various sectors including education, healthcare as well as economic, social and

political areas. This document portrays what is experienced by women in these particular sec-

tors and demonstrates the remarkable evolution in the role of women and their ability to be an

equal partner in building a competitive and sustainable society.

Bahraini women today are at a more advanced stage in the process to build a sustainable so-

ciety and have a greater ability to attain the highest positions in the Kingdom, whereby women

in Bahrain today are Ministers, Judges and Business Women, while maintaining their natural pres-

ence as a family nurturer, which in turn is a nurturer of the nation as a whole.

Perhaps the most contributing factor to enhance the advancement of Bahraini women has

been the harmony between official and civil efforts which has led to a fast improvement in the

status of Bahraini women and its progress. This is reflected through the conviction that compre-

hensive development cannot be achieved without the advancement of the status of women,

who represent half of the society.

The General Secretariat at the Supreme Council for Women is pleased to produce this publica-

tion, which tracks the statistical results and highlights, in numbers, the results of the efforts that

have provided women with all the required care and attention to build a society of excellence.

Introduction

1.Population

For the population of Bahrainis, there

are 102 males for every 100 females

of the Bahraini Population are at 64%

a working age

The Bahraini society is a harmonious

one; with the largest segment of the

population at a working age

According to population estimates, the population of

Bahrain reached (1,314,562) people in 2014, 39%of which

were female while the remaining 61% were male.

The total number of Bahraini citizens totaled to reach

(630,744) people during the same year. The results also

indicated that 49% of this figure represented female Bah-

rainis and 51% represented male Bahraini citizens.

The population pyramid for Bahraini, according to the population estimates (2014), presents the

age and status composition of the population at the same time. Findings demonstrated that the

wide base of the pyramid signifies a large segment of the young generation while the narrow tip

of the pyramid reflects a small percentage of the elderly population. It is important to note that

the proportion of elderly people has risen over the past decade which has been reflected through

the improvement of the quality of life in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The ratio of women to men in the Kingdom is roughly equal throughout all age groups, especially

the Bahraini population of adults at a working age. This segment of the population constitutes

the majority of the Bahraini population, which indicates that the Bahraini society will enter a new

phase of demographic transition.

During the time period 2001-2010, the annual growth rate for the Bahraini population was 3.8%,

due to the natural growth factors, which again reflects the high quality of life.

The Bahraini population according to gender has remained almost constant from the late fifties up

until 2010, where the number of Bahraini women was approximately 98 for every 100 men.
