"The rate of population growth in Africa has increased significantly because of large decreases in mortality without significant decline in fertility rates. The factors leading to high fertility rates are explored as are the social issues that result because of the high proportion of children. Further, although mortality rates in Africa have been improving, they continue to lag behind the rest of the world. Some of the reasons behind these and other aspects of the demographic situation are explored." (SUMMARY IN FRE)
