Synopsis Fertility by :
Based on the 2002 conference Fertility: The Current South African Issues of Poverty, HIV/AIDS, and Youth emanating from the partnership between the Department of Social Development, the South African Regional Poverty Network (SARPN), and the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), this book examines the underlying link between fertility and socio-economic development. The complex features in the current fertility trends in post-apartheid South Africa are examined, including the demographic fertility profile of South Africa's population, determinants of fertility-related behaviours such as sexual initiation in the context of AIDS, contraceptive use, and the broader regional fertility issues.

Synopsis Ngecha by : Carolyn P. Edwards
Ngecha is the monumental and intimate study of modernization and nationalization in rural Africa in the early years following Kenyan independence in 1963, as experienced by the people of Ngecha, a village outside Nairobi. From 1968 to 1973 Ngecha was a research site of the Child Development Research Unit, a team that brought together Kenyan and non-Kenyan social scientists under the leadership of John Whiting and Beatrice Blyth Whiting. The study documents how families adapted to changing opportunities and conditions as their former colony became a modern nation, and the key role that women played as agents of change as they became small-scale cash-crop farmers and entrepreneurs. Mothers modified the culture of their parents to meet the evolving national economy, and they participated in the shift from an agrarian to a wage economy in ways that transformed their workloads and perceptions of isolation and individualism within and between households, thereby challenging traditional family-based morals and obligations. Their children, in turn, experienced evolving educational practices and achievement expectations. The elders faced new situations as well as new modes of treatment. Completing this valuable record of a nation in transition are the long-term reassessments of the observations and conclusions of the research team, and a description of Ngecha today as viewed by Kenyans who participated in the original study.

Synopsis State of World Population 2002 by : United Nations Population Fund
Fertility and population growth are highest in the world's poorest countries, with the least-developed countries estimated to triple their populations from 600 million in 1995 to 1.8 billion by 2050. Dealing with population and reproductive health concerns within the broad framework of the UN Millennium Goals is crucial to achieving sustainable development objectives. This report reviews some key issues involved in progress to tackle global poverty including: the many dimensions of poverty; demographics and macroeconomics; gender inequality; health differentials and financing; HIV/AIDS; and access to education. It outlines a development framework for action including: better programme targeting to ensure benefits reach the poor, especially the most vulnerable; the extension of microcredit schemes; and the need for better monitoring and data systems.
