English to Italian: Feasibility study document
Source text - English Geographically located in the Horn of Africa, the Federal Republic of Ethiopia covers a territory of 1,104,000 square kilometers, about three and a half times the Italian national territory.
Its population - of almost 100,000,000 inhabitants - is made up of more than 80 different ethnic groups of mainly Cuscitic, Semitic and Nilotic origin, the majority of which are Oromo (35%), Amhara (27%), Tigre and Somali (6%). Growth estimates for the next forty years predict a total population of 210,000,000 by 2060, with one of the highest population growth rates in the world.
In Ethiopia it is also easy to observe trends typical in most African countries, i.e. a copious and increasing internal migration from rural to urban areas, due to the greater availability of services and market than the former. The capital, Addis Ababa, which today counts about 10,000,000 inhabitants (one tenth of the entire national population) expects to double its population in the next fifteen years, which is definitely not enough time to update the services that such a demographic increase would require. The forecasts, both from a socio-economic and psychological-relational point of view, seem to outline a near future full of challenges.
On an economic perspective, Ethiopia has seen an annual growth of 10% between 2004 and 2009, among the highest in the world, according to the International Monetary Fund. It has now stabilised between 6 and 7%, driven by the agricultural sector. Agriculture alone accounts for 41% of GDP, is responsible for 80% of exports and employs 80% of the workforce. Despite the high rate of growth, yet GDP per capita remains one of the lowest in the world, leaving most of the population below the poverty line.
Translation - Italian Situata geograficamente nel Corno d’Africa, la Repubblica Federale d’Etiopia copre un territorio di 1.104.000 chilometri quadrati, circa tre volte e mezzo il territorio nazionale italiano.
La sua popolazione – di quasi 100.000.000 di abitanti – è formata da più di 80 diverse etnie di origine prevalentemente Cuscitica, Semitica e Nilotica, la maggioranza è costituita dalle etnie Oromo (35%), Amhara (27%), Tigre e Somali (6%). Le stime di crescita per i prossimi quarant’anni prevedono una popolazione complessiva di 210.000.000 al 2060, con uno dei tassi di crescita demografica più elevati al mondo.
Anche in Etiopia è facile rilevare la tendenza riscontrabile nella maggior parte dei paesi africani, vale a dire una copiosa e crescente migrazione interna dalle zone rurali verso quelle urbane, a motivo della maggior disponibilità di servizi e mercato che queste ultime offrono rispetto alle prime. La capitale, Addis Ababa, che conta oggi circa 10.000.000 di abitanti (un decimo quindi dell’intera popolazione nazionale) aspetta di raddoppiare la sua popolazione nei prossimi quindici anni, un tempo decisamente insufficiente per l’aggiornamento dei servizi che un tale incremento demografico richiederebbe. Le previsioni, sia sotto il profilo socio-economico che psicologico-relazionale, sembrano delineare un futuro prossimo ricco di sfide.
A livello economico, l’Etiopia ha visto una crescita del 10% annuo tra il 2004 e il 2009, tra le più alte al mondo, secondo il Fondo Monetario Internazionale. Ora essa si è stabilizzata tra il 6 e il 7%, trainata dal settore agricolo. Solo l’agricoltura infatti concorre al 41% del PIL, costituisce l’80% dell’esportazione e occupa l’80% della forza lavoro. Nonostante l’alto tasso di crescita, tuttavia, il PIL pro capite rimane uno dei più bassi al mondo, lasciando la maggior parte della popolazione sotto la soglia di povertà.
