Ethiopia Population Pyramid 2034
Ethiopia in 2034
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Ethiopia at 166,978,793 in 2034. Compared with 2024, when the projection stands at 132,059,768, that represents growth of 26.4% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 21.9 years, Ethiopia would have a youth dependency ratio of 60.6 and an old-age dependency ratio of 6.7 per 100 people of working age. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
