AFRICA in the WORLD

The world population is nowadays more than 6,7 billions. Africa represents 950 millions or 14%. The world population increases by 60 000 people per day. African population doubled between 1980 and 2005 and within the same period, the debt was multiplied by 3! The demographic growth (more than 2%) in Africa remains the highest worldwide. Half of African population is below 17 years old whereas the world median is 23. Few countries in North Africa (Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) are about to control their birth policy; nothing is done in Sub-Saharan Africa where the rate by woman is 7 kids which corresponds to more than four times the rate in developed countries! Current studies show that a control of birth rate goes with a better education of kids, especially the girls and represents an indisputable factor of economical development.
