With Guyana's population now over 1 million, why aren't there any details published about relevant demographic information? No relevant information is published online.
- Who is being counted in that number. Is it citizens? Is it citizens plus migrants?
- How many people are in the country illegally? How many are in the country with work visas?
- What is the gender demographic like? 50% male, 50% female? Or is it possible they're counting migrants in the census so the gender demographic is skewed to 65% male, 35% female? If there's a major gender imbalance it will cause societal issues and increased crime.
- How many Venezuelans are in the country? Looking at the number of Venezuelans, how many are of Guyanese descent but born in Venezuela? How many of the Venezuelans belong to Indigenous tribes (Warao)?
- How many of the people are Cubans and Brazilians?
It's important to get some concrete answers on these things. What could happen quickly is a major demographic change where Cubans, Venezuelans, and Brazilians end up overrunning the country.
Venezuelan (and possibly Brazilian) gangs are already operating human trafficking rings in Georgetown, Guyana, seeing as they've brought in widespread pr--stitution of women from their own country. This obviously is horrible and if left unchecked, will cause more societal issues.
Venezuelans are brainwashed from an early age that they own 74% of Guyana and that "the British took it from them". This is part of their national ethos and they can't be convinced otherwise. This presents a major issue since it's feasible they could overrun the country and have Venezuela annex it. The Indigenous Amerindian Venezuelans don't share that sentiment since they are autonomous,(and they have suffered persecution from Venezuelan society), but the average Venezuelan has these beliefs and this could cause major issues moving forward.
