In Mozambique, military personnel as a percentage of the population showed a marked decrease from 1987 to 2016. Initially steady at 0.5% from 1987 to 1991, the proportion dropped to 0.3% in 1992, likely influenced by peace processes following prolonged civil conflict. By 1994, it had further declined to 0.1%, signaling Mozambique’s shift toward demilitarization and rebuilding. The rate remained low or at zero from 1999 onward, reflecting a sustained focus on peace and development over military expansion.
