NIGERIA By Madina Semega-Janneh

Facts Nigeria has one of the fastest growing populations in the world! Population was 32.9 million people 2008 – A staggering million

Nigeria compared to USA

Rates in 1925 Birth rate was 46.3 per 1000 people Death rate 20.2 per 1000 Annual population growth rate 2.61%

Rates in 2008 Birth rate was 43 per 1000 (STILL HIGH!) Death rate reduced to 18 per 1000 people Annual population growth 2.5%

DID YOU KNOW? Nigeria’s fertility rate in was 5.94 children per woman? By 1990 it had climbed to 6.01? And today it is 5.9?

BUT WHY ALL THESE BABIES?!?!

LACK OF CONTRACEPTIVES!

EARLY AGE OF MARRIAGE!

So What Is Their Goverment Doing About It?

Introducing... THE NATIONAL POLICY ON POPULATION!

Objectives Promoting an awareness of population problems and the effects of rapid population growth Providing information on the benefits of small family size Making family planning services easily accessible to all couples at an affordable cost

Few of Many Targets Reducing the proportion of women marrying before age 18 by 80% Reducing the average number of children a woman bears down to 4 Extending family planning coverage to 80% of women in child bearing age Reducing the rate of population growth from 3% to 2% Promoting use of contraception

How likely will the targets be met? Err... NOT SO LIKELY!

So far the Nigerian policy has not achieved its targets, even though some gains have been made. WHY? Religion - vast majority of population are muslims They prefer large families with many kids Culture

In conclusion... NIGERIA IS ANTINATALIST! (Or atleast the government is...)
