The first part of this study puts the population issue in Ethiopia in perspective. Chapter 1 updates Ethiopia's demographic profile, looking in particular at the size of its population, its age structure, the speed at which it grows and its distribution across space. Chapter 2 explores the relationships between population growth, economic growth, and poverty within the Ethiopian context. Chapter 3 examines how Ethiopia has attempted to deal with its demographic challenges. In particular, it reviews the policies that have been developed, assesses their implementation, and analyzes how they relate to the new development paradigms, in particular, the poverty reduction strategies and the achievement of the MDGs. Chapter 4 concludes the review of population, poverty and policy-related issues in Ethiopia today. The second part of the study gauges the effect of the current development strategy on the prospects for population growth, economic growth, and poverty reduction in Ethiopia.CC BY 3.0 IGOGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH SECTORHEALTH WORKERSHIGH POPULATION GROWTHHIVHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD RESPONSIBILITIESIMPACT OF FAMILY PLANNINGINDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLDSINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCEINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTEKNOWLEDGE OF FAMILY PLANNINGLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLAND TENURELEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF MORTALITYLIFE EXPECTANCYLIFETIME FERTILITYLIVE BIRTHSLOW FERTILITYLOWER FERTILITYMALARIAMANAGEMENT OF HEALTHMANAGEMENT OF POPULATIONMARITAL STATUSMARRIED WOMENMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL MORTALITY RATESMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF HEALTHMINISTRY OF LABOURMORAL SUPPORTMORTALITY LEVELSNATIONAL FERTILITYNATIONAL POPULATIONNATIONAL POPULATION COUNCILNATIONAL POPULATION POLICYNUMBER OF BIRTHSNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUMBER OF PEOPLEOFFICE OF POPULATIONOUTREACH ACTIVITIESPACE OF POPULATION GROWTHPARADIGM SHIFTPARENTHOOD FEDERATIONPATHFINDER INTERNATIONALPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY GUIDANCEPOLICY RESEARCHPOOR PEOPLEPOPULATION ACTIVITIESPOPULATION AND DEVELOPMENTPOPULATION ASSISTANCEPOPULATION CONCERNSPOPULATION DATAPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION FIELDPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH RATEPOPULATION INCREASESPOPULATION ISSUESPOPULATION MATTERSPOPULATION PRESSUREPOPULATION PROGRAMSPOPULATION PROJECTIONSPOPULATION RESEARCHPOPULATION SIZEPOPULATION-RELATED ACTIVITIESPOPULOUS COUNTRYPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIMARY SCHOOLPROGRESSPROMOTING GENDER EQUITYPROVISION OF FAMILY PLANNINGWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/7823
