As the results of the analytical side showed that the size of the population in Iraq increases naturally and at a balanced growth rate, the population of Iraq witnessed rapid development during the research period, and the results also showed that there are clear failures in education and health services in Iraq and that the current population growth rates pose a threat to the ability and the efficiency of these services. Moreover, it will lead to a reduction in the per capita share of these services.
