Talk:Demographics of Saudi Arabia/Archive 1

Introduction
At the death of muhammad, the islamic empire did not reach the Philippines...This is inaccurate and should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.137.242.22 (talk) 12:18, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Sunni/Shi'a ratio
Eagleamn, why did you undo my change regarding the percentages of Sunni and Shi'a?

The State Department's [International Religious Freedom Report 2004] (2nd external link in the page) has the following relevant information:

its population is approximately 24 million, with an estimated foreign population of 6 to 7 million.  Approximately 2 million citizens are Shi'a Muslims

Now 2 million out of 18 million is 11%. So 11% of Saudis are Shi'a and the rest (89%) are Sunnis.

Sex ratio
Does anyone know why there are so many more males than females? -- Charlie (Colorado) 16:09, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's because of huge numbers of male immigrants. That should be stated in the article. Jim Michael (talk) 10:11, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Population Pyramid
Do the population pyramid and sex ratios include only Saudi nationals, or does it include foreign workers as well? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.147.68.236 (talk) 20:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Life Expectancy
Surely this does not make sense:

total: 73.87 years male: 99.93 years female: 99.9 years (2010 est.)

Are there more accurate figures? Archon 2488 (talk) 16:30, 20 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I have found some much less dubious figures and used these. Archon 2488 (talk) 16:39, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Merge
The article is a synthesis of demographic topics, since Saudis are technically members of the House of Saud (and not all the citizens of Saudi Arabia are of Bayt Saud - far from it). The content might be useful for the Demographics of Saudi Arabia however, so merger is proposed. Following the merge, this page should disambiguate to Demographics of Saudi Arabia and House of Saud.GreyShark (dibra) 10:26, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * In English usage, "Saudis" is predominantly a demonym, referring to people from Saudi Arabia or of Saudi Arabian descent. From the article Saudis: "The Saudis, or Saudi Arabians, are the inhabitants or citizens of Saudi Arabia." This is different from the royal family House of Saud (or Al Saud). The corresponding Arabic word to the demonym "Saudis" is سعوديون, Saʿūdiyyūn. It was discussed on Talk:Saudis already. "Saudis" is very much a separate topic from "Demographics of Saudi Arabia", and deserves its own article. For example, we don't merge Swedes with Demographics of Sweden, or Germans with Demographics of Germany. Khestwol (talk) 14:42, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Declining population?
I rather suspect that "Saudi Arabia's population as of the April 2010 is steadily declining" is wrongRoyalcourtier (talk) 07:41, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
