Despite a relatively high per capita income of US$1,862 in 2015, 30 percent of the population lives in poverty and 21 percent lives in extreme poverty according to the fourth (2018) round of household survey (EDAM4). The same survey also found that 36 percent of Djibouti’s population is under 14 years old and 51 percent under 24 years old.
