Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
After decades of tremendous growth, Kinshasacapital of the Democratic Republic of the Congois now the secondlargest urban area in subSaharan Africa. And as the city has grownfrom around 300,000 people in the mid1950s to more than five million todayit has experienced seismic social, economic, and demographic changes.In this book, David Shapiro and B. Oleko Tambashe trace the impact of these changes on the lives of women, and their findings add dramatically to the field's limited knowledge of African demographic trends. They find that fertility has declined significantly in Kinshasa since the 1970s, and that women's increasing access to secondary education has played a key role in this decline. Better access to education has also given women greater access to employment opportunities. And by examining the impact of such factors as economic wellbeing and household demographic composition on the schooling of children, Shapiro and Tambashe reveal how one generation's fertility affects the next generation's education.This book will be a valuable guide for anyone who wants to understand the complex and ongoing social, demographic, economic, and developmental changes in contemporary subSaharan Africa.
