Matters arising out of meetings of the economic commission for Africa and out of sessions of the United Nations population commission

This document contains a summary of important discussions held and decisions taken on population and economic and social development at various conferences and meetings organized by ECA and by the United Nations Population Division. This report is confined to conferences and meetings held since 1974. In other words, the discussions are based on the period since the last Conference of African Demographers. The most serious social problem at present in many countries is unemployment and underemployment. There is very little wage employment in most ECA member States; and although there has been industrial· development in recent years, it has only limited impact on the absorption of the growing labor force.
