Abstract
On their current demographic trajectory, low- and lower-middle-income African states are several decades away from achieving a demographic dividend. This report explores the timing and conditions for African states’ achieving a more rapid demographic transition and looks at the impact on incomes, levels of poverty and other indicators of well-being.
