Demographic Transition Model
The statistics of Ethiopia's population show that they are currently in stage 2. The birth rate is high and the death rate is low which means there's going to be high growth in the population of Ethiopia. The population pyramids indicate there is a large young population in Ethiopia, so that's how you can tell the birth rate is high. They also show very little difference throught the decades, the only thing that's different is the population is getting larger. That is why I think Ethiopia is in stage 2 of the Demographic Transition Model.
