Ethiopia Population Pyramid 2044
Ethiopia in 2044
In 2044, Ethiopia is projected to have a population of 203,014,371 people. Ten years before, in 2034, the projected population is 166,978,793 — 21.6% lower.
Half of the population would be younger than 24.1 years, with 32.0% children under 15 and 4.8% aged 65 or older. 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.
