Abstract

Factors associated with Africa's lack of progress in achieving socioeconomic development are explored. The author suggests that the solution does not lie in tackling the population problem, but in resolving the structural factors causing underdevelopment, such as the export of wealth, the burden of debt, and the unfavorable balance of payments. The need to replace inappropriate models of development based on Western experience with African models is also suggested.
