This article and the main article on demography show the huge excess of adult men in Bahrain, but say nothing about this in words. Are the non-citizens, the temporary residents all male? In the ages below 20, the gender split is as one might expect, more less evenly split. Then above 20, there is an excess of men. I do not know the nation, and cannot find any commentary on this imbalance. - - Prairieplant (talk) 16:24, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Seems to be a highly contested topic as to what % is Sunni vs Shia. The State Department says "Most estimates from NGOs and the Shia community state Shia Muslims represent a majority (55 to 70 percent) of the citizen population.", but the infobox seems to say 51% Sunni/49% Shia, and they don't publish official stats on the breakdown in their census. Is there any way to indicate that this % is uncertain or contested? 205.175.106.234 (talk) 20:07, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Jewish Population
In the article, Jewish population is shown as 0.002% of the total population of 1.5 million. That means 30 Jews live in Bahrain. Is it correct data? I think we should remove this data from Article as the Jewish population is not substantial. 103.61.109.73 (talk) 06:09, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Map inset is incorrect
The map used in the sidebar has a strange inset. The world map has a rectangle that covers an area from Egypt to India. But the larger map is only a fraction of this. Not accurate or helpful. I realize it's difficult for a country this small. 2401:7000:DB0D:3900:58C:C232:8442:549F (talk) 03:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Missing text?
This paragraph under Post-Arab Spring years seems to have had text cut from it, between the words "committee to" and the word "paying". As is, it doesn't make much sense:
"On 9 April 2020, Bahrain launched a committee to paying private-sector employees for a three-month period in order to ease the financial pain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic."
It was added all in one go by an IP here, so probably just a grammar issue trying to say that the government supported private-sector employment. CMD (talk) 01:42, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
