Challenges and Opportunities—The Population of the Middle East and North Africa This Population Bulletin looks at recent demographic trends in the Middle East and North Africa and how they interact with social and economic forces of change. It shows how this high-profile region is being transformed by mortality and fertility declines and a veritable revolution in marriage patterns and family planning use. The Bulletin also considers the effects of immigration and refugee movements on the labor force as well as on the age and sex composition of country populations. (BUL62.2; June 2007)
Population and Reproductive Health in Sub-Saharan Africa The race between population growth and economic development in sub-Saharan Africa is one of the great dramas of the modern world. High rates of population growth and slow-growing or stagnating economies throughout much of the region have hindered modernization. Fertility has declined already in a handful of African countries, but the HIV/AIDS epidemic is reversing hard-won gains in life expectancy. This Population Bulletin surveys the demographic situation in sub-Saharan Africa. (BUL52.4, December 1997)
