Analysis
Ethiopia's population has been steadily increasing, with a significant growth rate driven by a high total fertility rate. The country's large and young population presents both opportunities and challenges, including the potential for a demographic dividend if harnessed properly. This growth also puts pressure on resources and infrastructure.
