Perhaps no region matches sub-Saharan Africa in its social and
cultural diversity. In this collection of micro-demographic
studies, the authors examine how the diversity of this region
influences reproductive behavior. The empirical studies,
distributed throughout the continent, are localized, in-depth
studies that give special attention to contextual effects of social
structure and social organization. A diverse range of topics is
addressed including, adolescent sexuality and the effects of early
childbearing on later fertility, the impact of development programs
on fertility and the association between social organization,
social diffusion, and reproductive regime. Highly revealing of the
determinants of reproduction in Africa, these studies serve as a
model for a new mode of demographic research. The chapters are
arranged by geographical regions of the continent, with an
introductory chapter outlining the editors' vision of a
micro-demographic enterprise and a concluding chapter placing the
African fertility transition in the context of the global fertility
transition. This volume inspires fresh thinking and theorizing
about demographic change, not only in sub-Saharan Africa, but also
in all low-income settings.
