{"product_id":"demography-and-the-development-potential-bo-malmberg-9789171066213","title":"Demography and the development potential of sub-Saharan Africa","description":"Population growth in Africa has laid the foundation for the eventual development of a prosperous region. Since the 1950s, sub-Saharan Africa has doubled its population twice over to become one of the most populous regions in the world. If sub-Saharan Africa succeeds in taking advantage of this population potential, the sub-continent could become a major player in the world economy. A major reason sub-Saharan Africa remains poor is the very high child-dependency arising from a very high total fertility rate, and low life expectancy based on both high infant mortality and high adult mortality rates. Reduced mortality and lower fertility are key requirements if sub-Saharan Africa is to enter a development trajectory that makes possible increasing per capita incomes and reductions in poverty. BO MALMBERG is a professor in the Department of Human Geography, Stockholm University and a research asssociate at the Institute for Futures Studies, Stockholm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bo Malmberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9171066217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789171066213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nordic Africa Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 39\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Bo Malmberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446535336191,"sku":"9789171066213","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9118bb90-7823-4a0d-95f0-ef27ea6a950d.jpg?v=1777225284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/demography-and-the-development-potential-bo-malmberg-9789171066213","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
