Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world. Unfortunately, Qatar has been known to provide very poorly – sometimes life-threatening – conditions for migrant workers. Some of the most largely represented nationalities of foreign migrant workers are Indian (25%), Nepali (14%), Bangladeshi (11%), Filipino (10%), Egyptian (9%), Sri Lankan (6%), and Pakistani (5%). Meanwhile, the remaining 88% of the population is comprised of expats and foreign migrant workers. However, Native Qataris only constitute an estimated 12% of the population. The majority of the nation’s residents are concentrated in the capital city, Doha. The 39th most densely populated country in the world, Qatar has a population of approximately 2.7 million people.
