This article is about the demographic features of Guyana , including population density, ethnicity, pedagogy level, health of the populace, economic status, religious affiliations and other aspects of the population.

Guyana's population (Guyanese people) is made upward of 5 main ethnic groups: Indians, Africans, Amerindians, Europeans (mainly Portuguese) and Chinese. Ninety pct of the inhabitants alive on the narrow coastal plain, where population density is more than 115 inhabitants per square kilometre (300/sq mi). The population density for Guyana as a whole is low: less than 4 inhabitants per foursquare kilometre (10.iv/sq mi).

Guyana continues to be influenced past British culture, besides as the cultures of the Usa, Europe, Africa, the Islamic earth, East and Southward Asian countries, and Latin America, esp. neighboring countries of Venezuela and Brazil. It is one of three countries and two territories to form The Guianas, such as Suriname and the island of Trinidad and Tobago; and territories like the French Guiana and parts of neighboring countries named for Guayana (Venezuela) and Amapá of Brazil.

Ethnic groups [edit]

The present population of Guyana is racially and ethnically heterogeneous, with ethnic groups originating from Bharat, Africa, Europe, and Communist china, too as ethnic or aboriginal peoples.

The largest indigenous group are the Indo-Guyanese, the descendants of indentured laborers from India, who make upward 39.8% of the population, according to the 2012 census.^[ten] They are followed past the Afro-Guyanese, the descendants of enslaved laborers from Africa, who found 29.3. Guyanese of mixed heritage make up xix.nine% while the indigenous peoples (known locally every bit Amerindians) brand up ten.v% The indigenous groups include the Arawaks, the Wai Wai, the Caribs, the Akawaio, the Arecuna, the Patamona, the Wapixana, the Macushi and the Warao.^[10] The two largest groups, the Indo-Guyanese and Afro-Guyanese, have experienced some racial tension.^{[11] [12] [thirteen] [xiv]}

Most Indo-Guyanese are descended from indentured laborers who migrated from North Republic of india, especially the Bhojpur and Awadh regions of the Hindi Belt in the nowadays mean solar day states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand.^[15] A significant minority of Indo-Guyanese are also descended from indentured migrants who came from the South Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.^[16] Withal, among the immigrants there were also labourers from other parts of South asia, such as Afghanistan, Nepal and northwestern India .

The distribution pattern in the 2002 census was similar to those of the 1980 and 1991 censuses, but the share of the two master groups has declined. Indo-Guyanese fabricated up 51.9% of the total population in 1980, but by 1991 this had fallen to 48.vi%, then to 43.5% in the 2002 census. Those of African descent increased slightly from xxx.8% to 32.iii% during the first menses (1980 and 1991) before falling to 30.2% in the 2002 census. With small growth in the overall population, the decline in the shares of the two larger groups has resulted in the relative increase of shares of the multiracial and Amerindian groups. The Amerindian population rose by 22,097 people between 1991 and 2002. This represents an increment of 47.iii% or annual growth of three.5%. Similarly, the multiracial population increased by 37,788 persons, representing a 43.0% increase or annual growth charge per unit of 3.2% from the base period of 1991 census.

The number of Chinese and White population (mostly consisting of Portuguese) is virtually 0.v%.^{[17] [xviii]}
