摘要

背景:有利的环境是经济发展的一个重要因素。非洲国家在发展指数上排名较低。从修辞上讲，低发展水平部分归因于人口因素，但几乎没有对这种关系进行定量评估来支持这种修辞。数据来源和方法:本研究使用了来自联合国、艾滋病规划署、世界银行、卫生和营养以及世界银行人口统计的数据。分析包括双变量和多变量回归。结果:研究结果表明，在控制其他人口因素的情况下，儿童依赖程度与非洲国家的发展水平呈显著负相关。结论:本研究未发现总生育率和人口增长对人均国民总收入有显著影响的证据。

Assessment of demographic factors in Africa’s development.

Background: An enabling environment is an important element for economic development. African countries rank low on indices of development. The low level of development is rhetorically partly attributed to demographic factors, but quantitative assessment of the relationship is hardly produced to back up the rhetoric. Data Source and Methods: Data sourced from the United Nations, UNAIDS, the World Bank, Health and Nutrition and Population Statistics of the World Bank were utilized in the study. The analysis consisted of bi-variate and multivariate regression. Results: The results suggest that the level of child dependency is significantly negatively associated with the level of development in African countries controlling for other demographic factors. Conclusion: The study found no evidence that total fertility rate and population growth have significant effect on gross national income per capita.
