This indicator measures the percentage of Panama's total population residing in urban areas. It is a key demographic metric that reflects the pace of urbanization and its impact on the country's development. Economists and policymakers monitor PANURBAN to understand shifts in resource allocation, infrastructure needs, and labor market dynamics. The calculation involves dividing the total urban population by the total national population. An increasing percentage signals a growing demand for urban services such as housing, transportation, and utilities, potentially driving economic activity through construction and service sector expansion. Conversely, a declining or stagnant rate might suggest slower urban growth, potentially indicating challenges in job creation or rural development. Policymakers use this data to inform urban planning, social service provision, and regional development strategies, aiming to manage the opportunities and challenges associated with population concentration.
