Uganda

Despite rapid population expansion driven by a high fertility rate, Uganda remains largely rural, with only 30.6% of the population living in urban areas. This suggests that the pressure of population growth is primarily being absorbed by rural infrastructure and resources, potentially straining agricultural land and services.

Uganda's economy is experiencing robust growth (5.337% GDP growth), which is slightly lower than its inflation rate (5.351%). While the growth is strong, the fact that inflation marginally exceeds real growth suggests that the average citizen's purchasing power might be stagnating or slightly eroding despite overall economic expansion.

While Uganda has made progress, only about half (51.5%) of the population has access to electricity. This significant gap highlights a major infrastructure challenge limiting economic development and quality of life for nearly half of its citizens, particularly those in rural areas.

Uganda reports a remarkably low unemployment rate of 2.787%, which is characteristic of developed economies, despite having a very low GDP per capita ($1,002.31). This disparity often indicates widespread underemployment or reliance on subsistence agriculture and informal sectors, where workers are technically employed but productivity and wages are low.
