Ethiopia Population Pyramid 2085
Ethiopia in 2085
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Ethiopia at 336,129,183 in 2085. That would be 8.8% more than in 2075 (309,057,820).
With a projected median age of 34.3 years, Ethiopia would have a youth dependency ratio of 32.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 20.3 per 100 people of working age. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
