title: Population and poverty in Africa.
abstract: "This paper sets out the position in Sub-Saharan Africa...regarding poverty and population.  Africa has as much danger of starvation and depopulation [due to AIDS] as of over population.  The paper sets out a model of poverty based on the twin concepts of capabilities and entitlements. This is [a] micro level approach and points to the importance of health and education as well as physical assets in analysing poverty. Issues of gender are always kept central.  Income, access to public goods, physical assets and human capital are the four determinants of the status of any individual visavis poverty."
