General Features of SubSaharan African Populations
Population Patterns and
dynamics of Sub-Saharan
African Populations
Learning Objectives
At the end of the lecture, students
should be able to identify and explain
the key factors that distinguish African
populations from other populations.
Explain population patterns and their
dynamics in African populations
Fertility patterns
Mortality patterns
Migration patterns

of childbearing immediately declined
to replacement level.

HIV/AIDS in Africa
SSA has the greatest burden of
HIV/AIDS
The burden of HIV/AIDS is greatest in
Eastern and Southern Africa
Some SSA countries have more than

Migration
SSA populations
A predominantly black race
The poorest region of the world, and contains of
the Least Developed Countries (LDC) of the world
Fast unprecedented growth rate
Worlds fastest growing population
Concentration of population in countries and
geographical areas that are rich with natural
resources or have better economic opportunities.
High fertility
TFR ranges from 2 to 7 in the region
CBR is 39 per thousand population
Teenage pregnancy or early childbearing is hugely prevalent
