The United Arab Emirates experienced a significant population increase in recent years as a result of major economic growth. This led to an influx of workers from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, increasing the population from 4 million in 2004 to roughly 8 million in 2009.[5] As of 2020, foreigners represent 88.1% of the population,[6] the second largest proportion of expats in the world in relation to the nationals after the Vatican. As of 2015, the largest group of non-UAE nationals are South Asian 59.4% (Indians 38.2%, Bangladeshi 9.5%, Pakistani 9.4%, and others 2.3%), Egyptian 10.2%, Filipino 6.1%, and other 12.8%.[7]

Female citizens and non-citizens account for 28% percent of the UAE's population due to the high level of male foreign workers.[8] The majority of the UAE population is between 25 and 54 years old. A large part of this can be attributed to the expatriate worker population who fall in the age category.[9] Population is heavily concentrated to the northeast on the Musandam Peninsula. The three largest Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah), are home to nearly 85% of the population.[10]

The 2022 population of the UAE stands at 9.4 million,[11] of which 69% of the population is male and 31% of the population is female.[12][13][14] The population density of the Emirates has reached a record 114 per km2.[15]

The most popular program is business which has the highest number of graduates, and the second most popular program is humanities and social science.[8]
