Abstract
"The paper advocates that unchecked population growth may lead to serious social and economic burdens in developing countries in general, and particularly in Africa.... The theoretical stand advocated here is that population and development are intimately linked and strongly influence each other. Therefore, an attempt to foster economic growth and hopefully improve the standard of living of the people without taking into consideration the population factor would be as illusory as an attempt to control population without involving economic variables." Using this perspective, the author examines prospects for the African Development Bank's intervention in the population sector. (SUMMARY IN FRE)
