A History of Population Growth in Kenya and Uganda

R. M. A. Zwanenberg and Anne King

Chapter 1 in An Economic History of Kenya and Uganda 1800–1970, 1975, pp 3-22 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Economic history is the study of people and their way of life; it is concerned with all the people, not simply the rulers or decision-makers, and it is therefore very important that economic historians should know about the number of people in the community they are studying; in other words, they must concern themselves with the size of the population. As historians they also need to know how the size of the population has changed over time; has it increased in size, or decreased, and even more important, why and how have the increases or decreases occurred? This chapter will attempt to answer some of these questions.
