Countries have a menu of options available to speed up the transition, improve investment in the resulting youth cohort, expand labor markets, and encourage savings. This book not only looks at lessons from East Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, but also at unique demographic characteristics in Sub-Saharan Africa. Harnessing the demographic dividend means, first and foremost, empowering women and girls by improving their health, enhancing their human capital through increased investment in education and skills, and providing them with greater market, social, and decision-making power. The full potential of the demographic dividend can be realized in Sub-Saharan Africa with proactive policies that can help to make it happen. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aDemographic transition$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aDemographic transition$xEconomic aspects$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aAge distribution (Demography)$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xPopulation 615 0$aDemographic transition 615 0$aDemographic transition$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aAge distribution (Demography) 676 $a304.6/20967 702 $aCanning$b David 702 $aRaja$b Sangeeta 702 $aYazbeck$b Abdo S. 801 0$bIEN/DLC 801 1$bIEN 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963330903321 996 $aFrom potential to reality$94366351 997 $aUNINA
