Full analysis: why Ethiopia ranks #50

Why Ethiopia ranks #50

Ethiopia scores 57.8 out of 100 and ranks #50 among 195 countries, between Portugal above and Ecuador below. This figure is the Bureau’s single read on national power, built from nine components: inside the top fifty, it describes a power with real regional weight.

Strengths

The strongest component is Trajectory at 66.8: 100% of its electricity from low-carbon sources; unemployment near 3.4% — work for whoever wants it

Weaknesses

The weakest component is Strategic leverage at 12.5: a median age of 21 — a nation of children, its workforce still in the classroom; fertility of 3.8 children per woman — far above replacement, a cradle overflowing faster than schools can keep up

Trajectory

Quarterly momentum reads 0. An uneventful quarter, recorded without embellishment: no breakthrough to celebrate, no setback to mourn. The Trajectory component itself scores 66.8. On the military board the country stands at 30.1, ranked #145. Head of government: Abiy Ahmed (Prime Minister).
