Abstract

Population dynamics, such as changes in population size, structure and distribution, and the associated demographic factors of births, deaths and migration, affect all facets of human life. Planners in every sector should examine the population aspects of their sectors carefully and address their sector plans with reference to the relevant population issues. Oladele Arowolo explains why this is so important.
