And in particular their fertility rate, which remains stubbornly high at 3.33 children per woman.
A popular meme has been that as countries and people get richer, they have fewer children. But, that is not occurring in Egypt, which is about twice as rich as India or Bangladesh, but has about 50% more children.
Really, its just Egyptian and Muslim culture which prioritises volume of children ahead of all else. Egypt will suffer if they cannot bring their population to sustainable levels.
The President of Egypt agrees:

Keep in mind that Egypt has a scientific output equivalent to Luxembourg: https://www.natureindex.com/country-outputs/generate/All/glo...
Despite having a population 166x larger. So, Earth is not gaining much by having millions of Egyptians - just increased resource degradation.
