"Uganda's population has been growing at a high rate of mor than 3 per cent over the last 30 years mainly due to high fertility, resulting in Uganda's population being one of the youngest populations in the world ... However, the past 15 years have seen the beginning of a decline in the fertility levels signalling the onset of opportunity for turning around the country's development profile to achieve the much desired socio-economic transformation ... The National Planning Authority will work with Government Agencies, Civil Society Organisations, the private sector and Development Partners to identify critical interventions that will make a difference in the lives of the country's population especially the young persons to prepare for the socio-economic transformation process."--Forword

This Handbook offers an array of internationally recognized experts’ essays that provide a current and comprehensive examination of all dimensions of international population policies. The book examines the theoretical foundations, the historical and empirical evidence for policy formation, the policy levers and modelling, as well as the new policy challenges. The section Theoretical Foundations reviews population issues today, population theories, the population policies’ framework as well as the linkages between population, development, health, food systems, and the environment. The next section Empirical Evidence discusses international approaches to design and implement population policies on a regional level. The section Policy Levers and Modelling reviews the tools and the policy levers that are available to design, implement, monitor, and measure the impact of population policies. Finally, the section New Policy Challenges examines the recurrent and emerging issues in population policies. This section also discusses prospects for demographic sustainability as well as future considerations for population policies. As such this Handbook provides an important and structured examination of contemporary population policies, their evolution, and their prospects.
