The Millennium Development Goals address poverty, hunger, disease,
illiteracy, environmental degradation, and discrimination against women,
by the year 2015. In this volume scholars and policymakers in the fields
of population and health reflect on the attainments of some of these
goals, on the basis of empirical evidence in the Ghanaian context. The
eight papers, with an introduction by the editors, synthesises papers
presented at a seminar held in Ghana on "Population, Health and
Development in Relation to the Millennium Development Goals", organised
by the Population Association of Ghana.
