<strong>Awra</strong> <strong>Amba</strong>, a current experiment of utopian socialism<br />
years, with an average of 7.5 years and a median of 5.4 years (50 % of couples have a difference in<br />
age lower or higher than 5.4 years): see Figure 11.<br />
Figure 11: Difference in age of married people in 2005, acc. to data by Atnafu (2005/36).<br />
Again according to At05, the 47 couples had between 0 and 7 children, with an average of 3.1<br />
children per couple and a median of 3.3 (see Figure 12), while the Ethiopian average was 4.2 in 2010<br />
(Unicef, 2012). The comm<strong>un</strong>ity had also 49 single parents (widowed, separated or divorced), which<br />
had 1 to 7 children, i.e. 2.3 children on average (with a median of 2.5 children). The main cause of<br />
this situation was the death of the spouse (57 % of the cases).<br />

Distribution of married couples and single parents according to their number of living<br />
children, in 2005, acc. to data by Atnafu (2005/33-34).<br />
A family in <strong>Awra</strong> <strong>Amba</strong> only includes the husband and wife and the children if they exist, while it is<br />
usually broader in the Amhara region (Me09/45). The average size of household is therefore smaller<br />
