Distribution of population in Africa and review of governmental policies affecting population distribution

Abstract

The paper is to indicate some general views concerning population distribution in African countries. While the main emphasis is towards the distribution of total population, it is important to stress that in general it is not possible to isolate absolutely such kind of questions as the process of urbanization and especially urban-rural dispersion of population. This is a very important aspect because urbanization has a great impact upon the general picture of distribution of population in any country.
