18POPULATION SIZE AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION1.1 Population SizeAmong the most important data collected by the Population and Housing Census was thaton population size at national, regional and wereda levels. It is useful for formulating variousdevelopment plans and for monitoring and evaluating their implementation. In Ethiopia,Population and Housing Censuses are the main source of data that reflect the demographic,social, economic and housing characteristics of the country.The total number of persons enumerated in the third Population and Housing Census --aggregating the May and November data sets -- was 73,918,505. Of these, 37,296,657 (50.5%)were males and 36,621,848 (49.5%) were females. The population of the country in the previouscensuses of 1984 and 1994 were 39,868,572 and 53,477,265, respectively.Table 1.1: Percentage Distribution of Population by Sex and Census YearCensus Year198419942007SexPopulation SizeNumber %Both Sexes 39,868,572 100.0Male 20,062,490 50.3Female 19,806,082 49.7Both Sexes 53,477,265 100.0Male 26,910,698 50.3Female 26,566,567 49.7Both Sexes 73,918,505 100.0Male 37,296,657 50.5Female 36,621,848 49.5
Summary and Statistical Report of the 2007 Population and Housing Census Results 9Figure 1.1 Counted Population Size of Ethiopia 1984-Figure 1.1 Counted Population Size 2007 of Ethiopia(in millions) 1984-20078073.9Population (In Millions)60402039.953.101984 1994 2007Census YearEach successive Population and Housing Census demonstrates that national population sizeincreased in steady increments of significant proportions. For instance, a comparison of the2007 census results with those from 1994 shows that the population of the country increasedby more than 20 million persons over the last 12 years. Similarly, in the previous decade (1984 to1994), the population of the country increased by 13.2 million people.1.2 Spatial Distribution of PopulationEthiopia is administratively sub-divided into nine regional states and two city administrations.The 2007 Population and Housing Census results are presented by regions. The data show thatthere are significant variations in the distribution of population by regions. As shown in Table2, the largest proportion of the country’s population was found in Oromia Region, followed byAmhara and SNNP Regions. The lowest proportion was in Harari Regional State.The same patterns of overall population distribution by regions were observed in the 1994census. However, there were slight changes in the percentage of population distribution overthe last 12 years: the percentage shares for Oromia and SNNP Regions have slightly increasedsince 1994, whereas the percentage share of the national population in Amhara Region hasdeclined from 25.9 to 23.3 percent. For the rest of the regions, distributions of the nationalpopulation expressed in terms of percentages remained nearly the same.
