2.1 Population

1. Brunei Darussalam

As of 1 January 2015, the population of Brunei Darussalam was estimated to be

433.775 people. This is an increase of 1.71 % (7 301 people) compared to population of

426.474 the year before. In 2014 the natural increase was positive, as the number of

births exceeded the number of deaths by 6.192. Due to external migration, the population

increased by 1.109. The sex ratio of the total population was 1.020 (1 020 males per 1

000 females) which is higher than global sex ratio. The global sex ratio in the world was

approximately 1.016 males to 1.000 females as of 2014.

During 2015 Brunei Darussalam population is estimated to be increased by 7 426

people and reach 441.201 in the beginning of 2016. The natural increase is expected to be

positive, as the number of births will exceed the number of deaths by 6.298. If external

migration will remain on the previous year level, the population will be increased by 1.128

due to the migration reasons. It means that amount of people who moves into Brunei

Darussalam (to which they are not native) in order to settle there as permanent residents

(immigrants) will prevail over the amount of people who leaves the country to settle

permanently in another country (emigrants).

the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or

citizenship--except for refugees not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are

generally considered part of the population of the country of origin. This page has the latest

Table 2.10.1

The HDI is a summary measure for assessing long -term progress in three basic dimensions

of human development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge and a decent standard of

living. Just as in the 2013 HDR, a long and healthy life is measured by life expectancy.

Access to knowledge is measured by: ii) mean years of education among the adult

population, which is the average number of years of education received in a life- time by

people aged 25 years and older; and ii) expected years of schooling for children of school-

entry age, which is the total number of years of schooling a child of school-entry age can

expect to receive if prevailing patterns of age -specific enrolment rates stay the same

throughout the child's life. Standard of living is measured by Gross National Income (GNI)

per capita expressed in constant 2011 international dollars converted using purchasing power

parity (PPP) rates.

Based on table 2.10.1, the USA has healthy life, education people and their standard of living

higher than Brunei Darussalam.

Inflation; consumer prices (annual %) in Brunei was last measured at -0.19 in 2014,

according to the World Bank. Inflation as measured by the consumer price index reflects the

annual percentage change in the cost to the average consumer of acquiring a basket of goods

and services that may be fixed or changed at specified intervals, such as yearly. The

Laspeyres formula is generally used. This page has the latest recorded value, an historical

of gasoline rebounded, and several other goods rose. Inflation Rate in the United States

Total in Brunei was last measured at 199681 in 2013, according to the World Bank. Total

Organization definition of the economically active population: all people who supply labor

for the production of goods and services during a specified period. It includes both the

employed and the unemployed. While national practices vary in the treatment of such groups

as the armed forces and seasonal or part-time workers, in general the labor force includes the

armed forces, the unemployed, and first-time job-seekers, but excludes homemakers and

other unpaid caregivers and workers in the informal sector. This page has the latest recorded

2.12 Product

Brunei's oil production peaked in 1979 at over 240,000 barrels per day (38,000 m3/d).

Since then it has been deliberately cut back to extend the life of oil reserves and

improve recovery rates. Petroleum production is currently averaging some 200,000

barrels per day (32,000 m3/d).

U.S. Products is a leading manufacturer of carpet, upholstery, drapery, stone,

concrete, & tile cleaning and restoration equipment, tools and chemicals for the floor

care professional. In manufacturing, quality, reliability and innovation are words that

are frequently advertised. At U.S. Products.

2.13 Potential in Agricultural Product

Efforts are under way to direct greater focus to Brunei Darussalam’s

agriculture sector, in order to both improve food security and create a niche in the

global market. Crude oil and natural gas production comprise 60% of GDP and more

than 90% of exports, while the agriculture sector’s share of GDP is only 0.72% and

employs just 1.4% of the population.

The structural changes in U.S. agricultural exports paralleled these shifts in demand.

During 1960-64 cotton and tobacco accounted for 21 per cent of U.S. agricultural exports;

today they account for 11 per cent. The structural changes in U.S. agricultural exports

paralleled these shifts in demand. During 1960-64 cotton and tobacco accounted for 21

percent of U.S. agricultural exports; today they account for only 11 per cent. Food exports

have remained at about 50 per cent of the total value of U.S. agricultural exports.
