title: Population, education and sustainable development.
abstract: The author examines the interrelationships between population growth and education, with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa.  "The gross body of evidence suggests that for all developing regions (and for sub-saharan Africa specifically) rapid population growth deleteriously impacts upon the quantity and quality of schooling.  In a reciprocal fashion, the variables which underpin rapid and differential growth (fertility, mortality and migration) are themselves influenced by quantum of formal schooling and by other educational processes."
