Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written lucidly and simply to serve as an introduction to the study of the African continent from a human population perspective, this book demonstrates important factors in the ebb and flow of group size and structure using the example of the fastest growing region in the world. From a total original population of less than a quarter million in prehistoric times to the present count of 642 million people in 1990, Africa is now demonstrating an annual growth rate of 3.0%, the highest on the planet. While the rest of the world's population is expected to increase by 60%, Africa's is expected to increase by 100%, doubling by the year 2025 to a projected total of 1.6 billion people. The major factor creating the high growth rate is the drop in death rates while the fertility rates remain high. Stress on the population has been related to urbanization which has increased since African countries attained independence in the 1960s. Employment opportunities in cities are inadequate and slum conditions have appeared around most major cities. Since agriculture remains the major industry and occupation, rural development policies are seen to hold the most promise for stemming urban migration and reducing famine and poverty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper critically reviews the methods for measuring the impact of family planning programs on fertility used primarily in the last decade, based on the literature as well as site visits and interviews. The strengths and weakness of several acceptor-based and population-based methods are evaluated for use in particular settings. The acceptor- based methods include: reproductive process analysis, standard couple- years of protection (SCYP), CYP, individual matching and component projection (CONVERSE). The population-based methods are: decomposition (standardization), trend analysis, prevalence, areal regression, multilevel regression and experimental design. Current evaluations are focusing on identification of the aspects of programs that have an impact, their interaction, and their relative importance in different settings. Except for the use of CYP in several Asian programs to monitor performance of the program, population-based methods are in vogue recently. Reasons for their popularity are the availability of national survey data, microcomputers and software such as TARGET, and the need for target setting in country policy. Areal and multilevel regression and experimental design are the methods receiving the most attention. The success of the Matlab project has stimulated interest in experimental design.
