A riveting study of Africa's demographics - its youth and growth -
and what they mean for the continent, today and into the future.
'Essential reading' Guardian 'Intensely researched - and very
important!' The Week 'The research in Youthquake is meticulous' Tim
Marshall, Reaction 'Attempts to end the hysteria and ignorance
surrounding demographic trends' New Statesman 'Meticulously
researched, nuanced and brilliant' Mary Harper Africa's population
growth in the last 50 years has been unprecedented. By mid-century,
the continent will make up a quarter of the global population,
compared to one-tenth in 1980. Africa's youth is the most striking
aspect of its demography. As the rest of the world ages, almost 60
per cent of Africa's population is younger than 25 years old. This
'youthquake' will have immense consequences for the social,
economic and political reality in Africa. Edward Paice presents a
detailed, nuanced analysis of the varied demography of Africa. He
rejects the fanciful over-optimism of some commentators and
doom-laden prophecies of others, while scrutinising received
wisdom, and carefully considering the ramifications of the
youthquake for Africa and the world.
