Analysis# Ethiopia Population Analysis
Ethiopia's population of 132 million ranks it 10th globally, with a 30.6% increase over the past decade reflecting sustained high fertility rates averaging roughly 3% annual growth. The 1991s peak growth decade indicates a demographic inflection point, suggesting fertility has since moderated as development indicators improved, though the current growth rate remains substantially above the global average of 0.84%. The 64-year dataset demonstrates Ethiopia's trajectory from roughly 26 million in 1960 to present, indicating a five-fold expansion driven primarily by natural increase rather than migration.
