Opis

Planners in many developing countries are aware of the high population growth rate and its negative impact on human capital accumulation. When population growth is not checked its consumption component would negatively affect human capital growth especially in low-income countries. This text is a snap-shop of the link between human capital formation and family size choice in Kenya. This text is therefore an invaluable companion for economists in education, planners and managers as they deliberate on education for development of their nations.
