Middle East demographics are shifting 🌍

From 2024 → 2100, most Middle Eastern countries are projected to keep growing - with Iran and Turkey as the major exceptions.

📈 Countries like Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Syria are set to see massive population increases, reshaping economies, labor markets, water demand, and regional geopolitics.
📉 Turkey and Iran, on the other hand, face aging populations, lower fertility rates, and long-term demographic decline.

These trends will define the region’s future - from urbanization and migration to power and stability in the 21st century.

What do you think will be the biggest challenge: jobs, water, or governance? 👇
