Population, Health and Development in Ghana : Attaining the Millennium Development Goals

The Millennium Development Goals address poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation, and discrimination against women, by the year 2015. In this volume scholars and policymakers in the fields of population and health reflect on the attainments of some of these goals, on the basis of empirical evidence in the Ghanaian context. The eight papers, with an introduction by the editors, synthesises papers presented at a seminar held in Ghana on "Population, Health and Development in Relation to the Millennium Development Goals," organised by the Population Association of Ghana.
