The above subject was the topic of one of the articles in "The Economist of Friday August 28th, 2009. I responded to the article and my response is printed below.
I don't know if the heading is appropriate for a serious issue as this. Attempt to plaster this demographic shift as either a gain or loss, depending on how Africans manage their "God sent" increase, is not intellectually challenging enough.
It is a fact that there are chances to make or break, with any growth. the growth of supply side economy in US led to a disastrous collapse of many aged and fabled institutions. The resultant push of combination of greed, avarice and loose management or oversight.
Same scenario as indicated above can be replayed, at the demography management levels in Africa, but that itself does not suggest "Sodom and Gomorrah". Let it be known, that not all failures come from"sin" and not all success come from fort-rightness.
African must master their own destiny ultimately.
