This book addresses nine relevant questions: Will population growth reduce the growth rate of per capita income because it reduces the per capita availability of exhaustible resources? How about for renewable resources? Will population growth aggravate degradation of the natural environment? Does more rapid growth reduce worker output and consumption? Do rapid growth and greater density lead to productivity gains through scale economies and thereby raise per capita income? Will rapid population growth reduce per capita levels of education and health? Will it increase inequality of income distribution? Is it an important source of labor problems and city population absorption? And, finally, do the economic effects of population growth justify government programs to reduce fertility that go beyond the provision of family planning services?

The application of human values to development determines success. Social modernization is based on collectivity, security, and cooperation and has political, socioeconomic, and emotional dimensions. The desirable outcome is economic, social, political, and ecological change that reduces poverty, injustice, inequality, and human suffering and a sustainable increase in the quality of life. This volume provides a summary of population growth statistics and regional distribution of population, a discussion of religious, sociocultural, and socioeconomic determinants of high fertility, an analysis of the effects of rapid population growth, a summary of demographic transition theory and a model for developing countries, and requirements for an ethically acceptable population policy. The rate of growth of 95 million people per year is unacceptable. Total population exceeds 5.6 billion. 9 out of 10 children are born in poor countries. Human development is jeopardized by rapid growth.

This book examines the promises as well as the challenges the demographic dividend brings to sub-Saharan Africa as fertility rates in the region fall and the labor force grows. It offers a detailed analysis of what conditions must be met in order for the region to take full economic advantage of ongoing population dynamics. As the book makes clear, the region will need to accelerate reforms to cope with its demographic transition, in particular the decline of fertility. The continent will need to foster human capital formation through renewed efforts in the areas of education, health and employment. This will entail a true vision and determination on the part of African leaders and their development partners. The book will help readers to gain solid knowledge of the demographic trends and provide insights into socioeconomic policies that eventually might lead sub-Saharan Africa into a successful future.
