Overseas immigrants’ make up 88% of the UAE population: UN

Overseas immigrants make up 88% of the UAE population as per the report of the United Nations for major international immigration trends. Around 3.5 million immigrants in the UAE are from India. The numbers of Egyptians and Pakistanis are 935,000 and 906,000 respectively.

Thus, the UAE becomes the nation with the maximum immigrants per head for its population. This is based on the figures revealed by the UN report for the UAE population.

UAE tops the ranking of nations with the highest overseas-born population as a share of the total population. Nevertheless, vast numbers of immigrants in the nation are economic immigrants. They are not refugees clarifies the UN report.

The second place is secured by Qatar with 75% of its population being overseas-born. Indians are the largest group of immigrants here as well with 646,000. Egyptians and Bangladeshis occupy the next positions with 164,000 and 160,000 of their nations in Qatar respectively.
