Why Yem people are so few in number? There are no concrete answers for this. However, some possible explanations are :
- centuries of war and conflict with other ethnic groups in the area such as the Oromo, Hadyia, Gurage, and Kembata results in death of the young men
- disease such as malaria, TB and others
- a culture that promote very limited number of children
- one man for one woman (monogamy)
- high level of tolerance to other ethnic groups and integrating with them
