Economic and Demographic Change in Africa

by Archie Mafeje (editor), Samir Radwan (Editor)

In the past decade, Africa has shown some of the highest population growth rates in the world, while enduring a severe economic decline. Some blame the present crisis directly on this population growth; others see the growing population as a stimulus to economic development. This volume
examines the complex relationship between demography and the economy, analyzing economic trends, agrarian responses, urban growth, and the implications of these factors on income distribution.
