Living in Zambia
In south-central Africa, Zambia neighbours the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and Angola. The population is 13,092,666 and is significantly multi-ethnic. There is a total of 73 tribes, as well as remnants of the British colonial era with immigrants from Europe and India who came as labourers. When the British colony collapsed, some of the white population left, but many Asians still remain. 44% of the population lives in urban areas, with sparsely populated rural areas. Economically, much of the population does live below the poverty line, with around 60.5%, if not more living in poverty, with a massive skew towards the rural population. The largest export is copper, so economic problems have occurred with this reliance due to copper prices declining. Agriculture however provides many more jobs than the mining industry, so is important for the country and there has been an agricultural boom as such. Zambia also has an interesting culture; the natives in their tribes all had distinct cultural practices, but the growth of urbanisation brought them all together, so they merged and also adopted a lot of European culture. There are many traditional ceremonies and popular traditional art forms including basketry and copper crafts, amongst many others.
