Abstract:
The study examines the relationship between mortality, fertility, and
economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa. While many regions of the world
are already experiencing a decline in mortality and fertility rates and
an increase in economic growth and development, the mortality rate is
still high in sub-Saharan Africa, the fertility rate is resisting
decline, and economic growth is low.
This study will provide empirical insights into the demographic
variables and economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa. Dynamic panel data
analysis will be used to estimate the variables.
