There were fewer than one million people living in Addis Ababa back in the 1980s.

Today, an estimated 8 million people live in the densely populated Addis Ababa largely due to lack of development in the rural areas that drive people to the capital, which leads to food insecurity and homelessness, as well as high crime rates such as human trafficking, prostitution, violence, robbery, exploitation, etc.

When all developmental projects are only focused in the few blocks the government controls in Addis Ababa, the rest of the country suffers from higher poverty rates and income inequalities. So, what's there to brag about? :|

Any African would be proud when he sees development in any African country, as an African. Not the Isayes ደንቆሮ ካድሬስ። Read what one of those cadres wrote above. He wrote in 1980 the residents of Addis Ababa were one million, and now eight million because he reasoned the residents of rural areas moved in large number to Addis. When your only motivation to despise a progress is born of envy, it seems to me, you even lack an understanding of basic math. If not he could have known there are 120 million of Ethiopians, and yes 112 million of them live not in Addis.

Here is what Deepseek knows about the size of Ethiopia population:

what is population of Ethiopia? I asked.
deepseek said,

"Okay, so I need to find out the current population of Ethiopia. Let's see... First, I remember that population figures are usually estimated and can vary depending on the source. The most recent data might come from organizations like the United Nations (UN), the World Bank, or the Ethiopian government's own statistics agency.

I think Ethiopia is one of the most populous countries in Africa. From what I recall, countries like Nigeria, Egypt, and Ethiopia are among the top in terms of population. But I'm not exactly sure about the exact numbers. Maybe I should check the latest estimates. Since the user is asking for the current population, I need the most up-to-date information available. Let me think—population figures are often projected based on past data. The last census in Ethiopia was conducted in 2007, I believe. Since then, they've had estimates and projections.

The United Nations Population Division usually provides annual estimates. For 2023, their data might be around 126 million. But I should verify if there's a more recent update. Alternatively, the World Bank's data portal might have figures. Let me recall—the World Bank's data for 2022 showed Ethiopia's population at around 123 million. But that's a year old. Considering the growth rate, which is roughly around 2.5% to 3% annually, the population would increase by a couple million each year.

So, if in 2022 it was 123 million, adding 2.5% would bring it to about 126 million in 2023. That aligns with the UN's estimate. However, different sources might have slightly different numbers. Also, some projections might use different growth rates or base years. It's important to mention that the figure is an estimate and the exact number can vary. Also, political changes, economic factors, or health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic could affect population growth rates, but Ethiopia's population has been growing steadily.

Another thing to consider is the demographic data from the Ethiopian Central Statistical Agency. They might have conducted more recent surveys. However, without a recent census, most figures are projections. The next census was planned for 2024, I think, which would provide more accurate data once completed.

So, putting this all together, the population of Ethiopia as of 2023 is estimated to be around 126 million. But I should check multiple sources to confirm. The UN's World Population Prospects 2022 report probably has the 2023 estimate. Let me recall—yes, the medium-variant projection for Ethiopia in 2023 is approximately 126.5 million. The CIA World Factbook might have a slightly different number, maybe 120 million, but that could be an older estimate. Wait, no, the CIA's 2023 estimate is around 120 million? That seems lower. Maybe they use a different base year or projection model.

Wait, now I'm confused. Why the discrepancy? Let me think again. The UN's data is usually considered the most authoritative. The World Bank data for 2022 was 123 million. The UN's 2023 estimate is about 126 million. The CIA World Factbook might update their numbers less frequently. So, the most accurate answer would cite the UN's estimate, perhaps noting that other sources might have slightly different figures. It's also possible that different organizations update their data at different times, leading to variations.

In summary, based on recent projections from the United Nations and considering Ethiopia's growth rate, the population in 2023 is approximately 126 million. However, exact numbers can vary, and for the most precise figure, referring to the latest reports from the UN, World Bank, or Ethiopia's statistical agency would be necessary. Additionally, factors like birth rates, mortality rates, and migration can influence these estimates, so they are subject to change.

The population of Ethiopia is estimated to be approximately 126.5 million as of 2023, according to the United Nations World Population Prospects. This figure is based on projections considering Ethiopia's annual population growth rate of around 2.5–3%. Key points to note:

Sources: The UN and World Bank are primary references, with the World Bank citing 123 million in 2022.

Growth Trends: Ethiopia has one of Africa's fastest-growing populations, driven by high fertility rates and improving healthcare.

Census Data: The last official census (2007) reported 73.7 million, and a new census is planned for 2024 to provide updated data.

Variations: Estimates may differ slightly between organizations due to methodological differences or timing of updates.

For precise planning or research, consulting the latest reports from the UN, World Bank, or Ethiopia's Central Statistical Agency is recommended
