Résumé anglais The first demographic sample survey of Ethiopie was made from 1964 to 1967. The general results are consistent with what one may expect to find slightly developed countries: scanty urbanization (10,7 %), extreme youth of the population (45 % are under fifteen), high birth-rate (50,1 %o) and death-rate (25,3 %o), rapid increase in and preponderance of agricultural activities. The population of Ethiopie is nevertheless original for two main reasons : one notices on one hand that the repartition of the population varies according to the different altitude zones, with thickly populated in the mountains, and empty low countries, except for the Rift whose population is fastly increasing. On the other hand, the demographic attitudes peculiar to Christians and Moslems may account for a sharp contrast between the South and the North.
