Demographic Study of an Egyptian Province (Sharquiya)

Initially published in 1943. In A Demographic Study of an Egyptian Province (Sharquiya) Dr Ammar an Egyptian anthropologist  raises a number of questions around the relevance of and need for accurate population statistics in field economic studies.  His tables and sociological analysis will be of particular interest to those working in other Muslim areas and the economic conclusions he draws have familiarity to all who are studying 'the problem of primary poverty'.
