What is Rwanda Urban Population (%)?
This indicator measures the percentage of Rwanda's total population residing in urban areas. It is a key demographic metric reflecting the pace and extent of urbanization within the country. Economists and policymakers monitor this figure to understand the structural shifts in Rwanda's economy. A rising percentage signals increasing rural-to-urban migration, often driven by perceived economic opportunities in cities, such as employment in manufacturing, services, and construction. This trend has implications for infrastructure development, housing demand, and the provision of public services like sanitation and healthcare in urban centers. Conversely, a stagnant or declining urban population might suggest challenges in urban job creation or opportunities emerging in rural areas. The calculation involves dividing the total urban population by the total national population and multiplying by 100. Changes in this percentage are closely watched as they can influence national development strategies, investment priorities, and the distribution of resources. It provides insights into the nation's ongoing transition from a predominantly agrarian society to one with a growing urbanized workforce.
