Ethiopia at a Glance

Ethiopia is one of the poorest nations on the globe, with more than half of the population living in poverty. Frequent droughts leave poor farming families without food crops, causing periodic famines.

  • More than 80 percent of the population earns less than U.S. $2 a day.
  • Ethiopia has only one medical doctor per 100,000 people.
  • Just over 8 percent of babies die during or soon after birth.
  • HIV and AIDS exacerbate poverty by taking the lives of young adults, who are most productive for society.
