Planning for Population Change
This book is a collection of papers by various authors dealing with the impact of population change on policy-making processes. It is concerned...with the consequences of population change for present and future social and economic policy towards such questions as employment educational provision and health care as well as the spatial and temporal variations in demand which arise from both demographic and geographical differences between and with…
Moral Economies of Corruption
all made sharp comments that made me reconsider key aspects of my argument.The anonymous readers for Duke University Press and my editor, Miriam Angress, have vastly improved the book with their careful attention to my argument and its implications.With such interlocutors, this book should be much better than it is; the fault for that, of course, is mine rather than theirs.I owe many people thanks for personal and professional support over the ye…
Population and Development
Population and Development addresses important issues at the heart of the problems of developing countries. How these countries address the common difficulties of population growth, including mortality and fertility decline, population redistribution including internal migration and urbanization, and also international migration, for both source countries and for destination countries. How and why has population change affected development – both…
Young caregivers in the context of the HIV/Aids pandemic in sub‐Saharan Africa
Against a background of rising adult mortality and morbidity in the context of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in sub‐Saharan Africa, this paper provides both quantitative and qualitative evidence for the existence of a largely neglected group of young people with increased responsibility for caregiving. Using questionnaire surveys, focus groups, storyboards and in‐depth interviews in three studies across Southern and Eastern Africa some young people in Le…
Vulnerability and HIV/Aids in Africa
Geographical studies of the African HIV/AIDS epidemic must consider not only familiar biological and epidemiological parameters, but also the development contexts in which the epidemic is raging. HIV/AIDS is exceptional in its geographical spread and socio‐economic and demographic impacts: very different from more familiar African diseases such as malaria. Vulnerability to the disease needs to consider not only exposure, but also each society's c…

A Fertility Transition in Sub‐Saharan Africa
There is now substantial evidence for fertility decline in the majority of countries of sub-Saharan Africa. This paper reviews that evidence, identifying the large variation in the extent of change, particularly between Southern Africa and West Africa, and sets it in the context of the demographic transition model, concluding that it is not yet clear whether or to what extent the recent African experience and likely future trends are consistent w…

Population Migration and the Changing World Order
This volume is a product of a symposium held in January 1993 at the Institute of British Geographers Annual Conference in London England. focus was on the impact of the end of the Cold War and the Gulf War on global migration trends. The symposium sought to review the ways that these and other broad political and economic changes of the previous few years associated with what was being fashionably described as the new world order were affecting p…
Population Geography (Second Edition)
Occupational Continuity and International Migration of Skilled Workers
As part of a current concern among geographers to identify the local specificity of labour markets...and the regional impacts of international migration from [the United Kingdom], this paper considers one case of regional specificity--the Port of Liverpool--and how the traditional skills of the port and associated activities, on and off-shore, have provided important linkages with international demand for skills in these occupations, and have spo…
The Kenyan Conundrum. A Regional Analysis of Population Growth and Primary Education in Kenya
Technical Education and Migration in Tiriki, Western Kenya, 1902–1987
[A]ttention should be directed towards agriculturally-oriented or ruraloriented school activity and curriculum content as a means of stemming rural-urban migration as well as increasing agricultural activity in the long run. 1 This is one of the latest additions to a stream of policy advice to the Kenyan authorities that stretches back to the earliest phase of colonial control at the beginning of the 20th century, and has parallels almost everywh…

Development in Kenya in the 1970s: Issues and Some TrendsThe early years of the 1970s saw two important milestones for the political economy and historiography of Kenya. The ILO report of 1972 was a major critique of Kenya's development efforts since independence that identified growing problems of poverty and inequality which were the result of policies that in many other respects achieved desirable objectives (International Labour Office, 1972)…

Refugees in Tropical Africa
There are over 1 million refugees in Africa. This is a formidable number even when measured on a global scale and is matched only by the apparently perennial presence of 1500000 Palestinian refugees (Barakat 1973) and such temporary problems as the estimated 10 million Bengalis who fled to India in 1971 at the height of the civil war in Pakistan but were repatriated when Bangladesh was declared an independent state. The Office of the United Natio…

International Migration in Tropical Africa
This paper reviews recent literature and research that has been concerned primarily with international migrations within Africa identifying major foci of attention and controversy rather than attempting a statistical presentation of past or current movements. It concerns stocks of migrants as well as flows i.e. the foreign born or non-nationals established in independent countries and also recent migrants for many of the major current issues aris…
