Africa's Population

Failure is not an Option - How can Africa profit from its «Demographic Dividend»?

Springer is publishing the book «Africa's Population: In Search of a Demographic Dividend». The editors, Hans Groth from the World Demographic & Ageing Forum in St. Gallen and John F. May from the Population Reference Bureau in Washington, D.C., intend to initiate crucial discussion on population development in Africa. The opportunities and risks of the enormous population growth in the upcoming decades, as well as concerete suggestions on how Africa can best use its changed population structure in order to achieve the so-called "demographic dividend" – those are the main thematic points of this book.
