JORDAN POPULATION 2023 (LIVE)

After experiencing a period of fast population growth from 2000 to 2020,
increasing the population by over 5 million people, the Jordan population is
expected to continue growing. The population is expected to peak at 14.15
million people in 2080, after which it will begin to decline slowly, ending the
21st century with 13.69 million people.

Between 2000 and 2020, Jordan grew at rates between 1.37% and 5.00%. The current
population growth rate is 1.00%, adding about 101,000 people to the population
from 2019 to 2020. Jordan has positive net migration and a fertility rate of
2.77 births per woman, which is above the population replacement rate of 2.1
births.

With fertility rates gradually decreasing, the population growth rate is
decreasing as well. This will lead to Jordan’s population plateau and eventual
decline when the death rates begin exceeding the birth rates.


JORDAN POPULATION GROWTH

Today, the 95-97% of Jordanians are Arabs, but there are many other ethnic
groups in Jordan. There are about 500,000 Iraqis, and over 500,000 Syrian
refugees have moved to Jordan to escape violence in the last two years. Assyrian
Christians make up 0.8% of the population, most of whom are Eastern Aramaic
speaking refugees. Here are 30,000 Kurds, most of which are refugees from
Turkey, Iran and Iraq, and about 5,000 Armenians. Jews were once prevalent in
the country but now number just 300.


JORDAN POPULATION PROJECTIONS

The dramatic population shifts and massive influxes of immigrants are expected
to stabilize, and even slow, in the years to come. The annual growth rate as of
2019 was 1.68%. Predictions say that this rate will peak in 2020 around 2.2%
before slowing down towards 1% annually in 2050. It may seem as though this
decrease wouldn't be desirable, but it is much more stable than the volatility
of the past. The same projections say that the population of Jordan will be
10,208,662 in 2020, 11,122,063 in 2030, 12,679,815 in 2040, and 14,187,734 in
2050.

JORDAN AREA AND POPULATION DENSITY

Jordan is an ancient Arab nation in the middle east. Although it is technically
landlocked (it shares its border with Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and
Syria), it is located between the Mediterranean and Red Seas and contains the
massive Jordan River. The land itself is mostly flat and covers 34,495 square
miles (89,342 square kilometers) of surface area. Using the 2017 population of
9.7 million, the population density of Jordan as a whole is 281.2 people per
square mile (108.6 people per square kilometer), which ranks 70th in the world.


LARGEST CITIES IN JORDAN

Jordan is an extremely urban country, with nearly 85% of the people living there
residing in cities or the surrounding metro areas. Despite this unusually high
number, all those people are distributed between many smaller cities as opposed
to a few larger ones. The capital and largest city of Jordan is Amman, which has
about 4 million people. Amman is one of the world's oldest continuously
inhabited cities and one of the most liberal in the Arab world. Amman has a
population density of 3,143 people per square kilometer (8,140/square mile).

JORDAN POPULATION PYRAMID



Jordan, officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is an Arab kingdom in the
Middle East bordered by Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Israel, and Palestine. This
desert country came into existence after WWII when West Asia was divided and it
gained independence in 1946. In its early history, the area was inhabited by
many Semitic Canaanite-speaking kingdoms and it has been controlled by many
empires, including the Akkadian Empire, Ancient Egypt, the Hittite Empire and
Israelites.


JORDAN DEMOGRAPHICS

In 2007, there were up to 1 million Iraqis in the country. Since the Iraq War,
many Iraqi Christians have moved to Jordan and number up to 500,000. There are
also about 500,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan. In 2008, Jordan was home to 1.95
million Palestinian refugees, most of whom were Jordanian citizens. Jordan later
revoked the citizenship of thousands of Palestinians to keep them from
resettling West Bank residents.

It's estimated that there are 1.2 million illegal migrant workers and 500,000
legal migrant workers in Jordan, and thousands of foreign women come to work in
the nightclubs and hotels.


JORDAN RELIGION, ECONOMY AND POLITICS

Muslims account for 82% of Jordan's population, 93% of which are Sunni Muslims.
This is the highest percentage of Sunni Muslims in the world. There is a
Christian minority of about 6%.

The economy in Jordan is pretty well split up between different industries, with
trade and finance accounting for 1/3 of the nation's GDP, private enterprise and
government spending making up 1/4, and both transportation, communication,
public utilities, and construction as well as mining and manufacturing both
accounting for roughly 1/5 of the GDP. Despite all of these relatively strong
industries, Jordan has long struggled with recession, debt, and unemployment and
relies heavily upon foreign aid, which is largely due to the presence of larges
numbers of refugees in the country. The land is nearly all useless as far as
growing agriculture, and Jordan has to import more all of their food. Water
supply is also an issue in the region.

Jordan's government operates as a parliamentary monarchy, where the prime
minister is in charge of the government as well as the multi-party system. There
is also a king in place, who can exercise his power through his appointments.
The government has been under the process of decentralization under King
Abdullah II, who succeeded his father in 1999, where the country will be divided
into three regions: North, Central, and South; each of which will have its
council to deal with their individual political, social, legal and economic
issues.


JORDAN POPULATION HISTORY

Jordan wasn't recognized as an independent country by The United Nations until
1946, and as such does not have much for a lengthy population history. Shortly
after in 1948 thousands of Palestinian refugees came to the country when Israel
created a British-mandate in Palestine. More refugees came to Jordan suddenly in
1967 when Israel took control of Jerusalem and West Bank during the Six-Day War.

Jordan signed a peace deal with Israel, ending a 46-year-old war with them, in
1994 and the population spiked during this time. In the early 2000s, Al-Queda
exerted itself over the area planting explosives in cars and firing missiles at
other countries from within Jordan.
