| Abstract | ||
| This study provides a demogeographic analysis of population growth in the Makkah Al-Mokarramah region from 1974 to 2010. It is generally accepted that people as human resource constitute the most important element of any country. Recent demographic censuses and surveys have revealed that population growth and fertility levels in developing countries are still fairly high. Saudi Arabia, like all Arab Gulf countries, is a destination for international migrants. A large number of immigrants are entering Makkah Al-Mokarramah. This study illustrates the influence of international migration on population growth in this region. | ||
