Life in United Arab Emirates: Every Number That Shapes It (1800–2100)

The human experience is defined by the steady accumulation of years and opportunities. In the United Arab Emirates, daily existence is now framed by a landscape where electricity at home and internet access have reached 100 percent. This stability manifests in the quiet details of a life: an average male height of 171 cm and a working environment of 2,200 hours/year. It is a reality where extreme poverty has fallen from 16.21 to 0.1 percent, shifting the baseline of human survival toward a focus on individual growth.

The historical trajectory reveals a profound transformation in societal health and infrastructure. Life expectancy at birth rose from 44.67 to 78.7 years, while child mortality plummeted from 142.56 to 6.5 per 1,000 births. Educational opportunities expanded from 1.89 to 12.1 years of schooling, and income per person shifted from 9,320 to 66,800 intl-$. As the population living in cities grew from 32.92 to 87 %, the homicide rate dropped from 2.05 to 0.5 per 100,000, signaling a rapid leap toward modernization.

For a child born in the 2020s, the birth lottery provides a stabilized world with a fertility rate of 1.46 births per woman.
