This book offers a comprehensive exploration of Uganda’s demographic landscape, drawing on perspectives and analytics from selected African countries. It meticulously examines demographic transitions, trends, and the potential for a demographic dividend to foster development. Beginning with Africa’s Road to Demographic Transformation, the book underscores the critical importance of African population dynamics and the policies and programmes shaping them within the continent. Its unique contribution lies in its reliance on primary data sources, including interviews, which provide fresh insights, viewpoints, and reflections. This makes the book an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners engaged with population issues. A central argument of this work is the profound influence of population dynamics on economic, social, and environmental outcomes.
