African Population Studies: Material on Demography / Population Studies A. Sathiya Susuman

It is indeed my pleasure to introduce the African Population Studies material on Demography/Population Studies. This is my great pleasure to include few different African studies those who have worked under my supervision. I have taken care of the latest Demographic and Health Survey data, Population Census and Primary data were used in the analysis and existing development content as per African situation. I have tried to use the statistical analysis much simpler in order to cover broader aspects of Population Studies. The present book title covered the African Population Studies composed different topics; health data inconsistencies, mental health, maternal mortality, family size preference, antenatal care, contraceptive practice and youth sexuality in Africa. In the recent years there are many issues in order to estimate fertility, mortality and migration, HIV/AIDS and vulnerable diseases but they are not included here as I feel that there is need of more work on these techniques in order to make them perfect. I hope the basic demographic analysis would fulfill the basic requirements of students, researchers and policy makers in the field of Population Studies.
