A Call for Better Integrated Policies to Accelerate the Fertility Decline in Sub‐Saharan Africa
To accelerate their demographic transition, sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries must trigger significant and rapid fertility declines. These fertility declines will open a demographic window of opportunity and enable countries to capture a first demographic dividend. Despite some successes, many programs aimed at decreasing fertility in SSA have yielded disappointing results. This commentary argues that better integrated policies will help to acc…

Les défis démographiques des pays sahéliens
Parmi les multiples causes de troubles dans la région sahélienne, il faut compter le facteur démographique. La croissance exponentielle de la population ne s'accompagne pas d'un développement humain (éducation, santé, gouvernance, etc.) aussi rapide. Des mesures seraient à prendre pour éviter davantage de turbulences dans cette partie de l'Afrique

Surpeuplée ? Vieillissante ? Entretien avec John F. May sur l’avenir démographique de la planète
Comptant aujourd'hui parmi les grands spécialistes des politiques et des programmes de population sur la scène internationale, le Belge John F. May a été Lead Demographer à la Banque mondiale de 1997 à 2012. Avant d'entamer sa carrière dans l'institution de Washington, il a travaillé pour des organismes aussi divers que l'UNPFA, l'UNICEF, l'USAID et l'Union internationale pour l'étude scientifique de la population. Il collabore désormais avec le …
Le rôle des politiques de population
La population mondiale a franchi le cap des 7 milliards d'habitants et, en principe, devrait augmenter de 3 milliards de personnes d'ici la fin du siècle. Aussi importe-t-il de rappeler le rôle historique des politiques de population et de souligner l'importance des défis démographiques, lesquels nécessiteront de nouvelles réponses de la part des pouvoirs publics
L'Afrique subsaharienne dans la démographie mondiale
La population mondiale dépassera les 7 milliards d'habitants vers fin octobre 2011. Cette annonce, fort médiatisée, a eu le mérite d'attirer à nouveau l'attention internationale sur les questions démographiques. Celles-ci continuent à interpeller les décideurs et les agences de développement, particulièrement en Afrique subsaharienne
Policies on population, land use, and environment in Rwanda
Family Planning in Rwanda
This article analyzes the status and future prospects of family planning in Rwanda. The use of traditional contraceptive methods is examined and major constraints to modern contraceptive use are discussed, both for potential users (low demand) and family planning delivery systems (poor supply). Current contraceptive prevalence, as well as evidence of potentially higher demand, are analyzed. Contraceptive prevalence for modern methods is estimated…

Fertility, Mortality, Migration and Family Planning in Haiti
In Haiti, as in many developing countries, reliable statistical information on the structure and the vital processes of the population has been scarce. Ten years ago it was correct to state that 'the activities of the public and private Haitian sectors in the field of demography have been quite limited. This situation is in no way different from the state of affairs that prevailed before the 1950s', when the first national census, considered a po…
