Military Personnel as a Percentage of Population in Lesotho, 1987-2016

Lesotho’s military personnel as a percentage of the population remained consistently at 0.1% throughout the entire period from 1987 to 2016, with no recorded increases or decreases relative to the population over the nearly three-decade span. Such consistency suggests a balanced policy of maintaining a fixed level of military staffing without substantial expansion or contraction, reflecting Lesotho’s sustained approach to national defense resources.
