Demography, Development and Migration. A Chance for the African Continent?

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays there are already 1 billion people living in Africa, in 2050 there will be three Africans for each European, for a total of 2 billion inhabitants. Therefore Africa, at least from a demographic point of view, will become the “third giant” after India and China. However since 1935 to date, little progress has been made as part of the strategy to combat poverty, as sub-Saharan Africa is the poorest region in the world and the entire continent has the record of residents forced to live in the slums. Having access to many young people and enjoying a higher population growth can turn into a development opportunity? This paper analyses the issue, focusing on the fact that would take limited investment in terms of infrastructure and education to take advantage of the enormous human potential of the African continent.
