520 _aGeneralizations about the lack of demographic change and of progress in meeting the MDGs in sub-Saharan Africa are commonplace, but they are often misleading and belie the socio-cultural change. This book compares Ethiopia with other African countries, demonstrating the uniqueness of an African-type demographic transition: a mix of poverty-related negative factors with positive education, health and higher age-of-marriage trends that are pushing this population to accelerate the demographic transition and meet most of the MDGs. The book takes great care with challenges of inadequate data and weak analytical capacity to research this incipient transition, trying to unravel some complexities in Ethiopia: Slowly declining population growth rates with rapidly declining child mortality, very high chronic under-nutrition, low urban but high rural fertility; and high population-resource pressure along with rapidly growing small urban places.
