82.	Assessment of Linkages Between Population Dynamics and Environmental Change in Tanzania
	Tuesday, January 10, 2006  by Admin
	This paper discusses the linkages between population growth and environmental degradation in Tanzania. Tanzania's major environmental problems, demographic characteristics, and the linkages between environmental change and rapid population growth both at national and regional levels are discussed. These discussions are intended to provide an empirical base for analysing the impact of changing environment on the people’s lifestyle and their demographic behaviours including the reproductive ones. A conclusion is made that environmental change is as an important factor to demographic and economic factors as it is population growth to economic development and environmental conservation.
