Abstract

The author examines fertility and mortality trends in Kenya since 1948. Among the findings it is noted that "the total fertility ratio for Kenya rose from 6.7 in 1948 to 8.1 in 1989. The population growth rate according to the 1989 census was 4.2 per cent, the highest in the world. There has been a decline in mortality. [The] crude death rate declined from 25 per thousand in 1948 to 12 per thousand in 1989. There has also been a sharp decline in infant mortality from 184 per thousand in 1948 to 72 per thousand by 1989. Mortality differentials by the level of formal education show that mortality for children whose mothers have no formal education is highest, and lowest for children whose mothers have secondary education."

肯尼亚人口趋势的一些方面。

作者研究了1948年以来肯尼亚的生育率和死亡率趋势。在调查结果中指出，“肯尼亚的总生育率从1948年的6.7上升到1989年的8.1。根据1989年人口普查，人口增长率为4.2%，是世界上最高的。死亡率已经下降了。粗死亡率从1948年的千分之25下降到1989年的千分之12。婴儿死亡率也急剧下降，从1948年的千分之184下降到1989年的千分之72。正规教育程度造成的死亡率差异表明，母亲未受过正规教育的儿童死亡率最高，而母亲受过中等教育的儿童死亡率最低。”
