Resumen
Descripción
The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia is a landlocked mountainous country located in the North-eastern horn of Africa. Ethiopia, which is the second most populated country in Sub-Saharan Africa, is experiencing rapid population growth. The population is very young and is one of the least urbanized in the world. Ethiopia is heavily dependant on the agricultural sector which accounts for almost half of the GDP. About three-quarters of the population are engaged in agriculture, mainly in subs istence and rain-fed farming and livestock production. Since 2000, the economy has been growing steadily. However, Ethiopia remains one of the poorest nations in the world, with almost a quarter of Ethiopians living with less than 1$ a day.
