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).

Population growth (annual %) in Brunei was last measured at 1.42 in 2014, according to

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.

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

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.
