African Households - Censuses and Surveys (Hardcover)

This volume in the General Demography of Africa series encompasses many nations and focuses on a feature of all censuses--household relationships. African households rank among the most complex in the world. Given that fact, the contributors evaluate the usefulness of census questions to investigate household structures. This groundbreaking works makes it possible to investigate relationships among individuals within the household and relate them to household characteristics, such as structure and headship. In addition to discussing household composition in comparative terms, the book pays special attention to the place of women in the household, and to the residence of children and the aged. The analyses use micro-data from a variety of countries including Bostwana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivorie, The Gambia, Senegal, Kenya, and the Republic of South Africa.
