Abstract:	Series of 13 essays on demographic developments and research in Kenya. The essays fall broadly into five parts. The first group deals with methodological problems, particularly the application of demographic models and the estimation of fertility and mortality levels. The second part outlines Kenya's demographic and sociocultural scene and the third explores the role of the family, the status of women, and the family planning programme. The fourth part discusses various factors connected with population growth and development, such as agricultural development, water supply, health and diseases, and housing. The last part shows the nature, pattern, and policy implications of spatial population change in Kenya through the medium of internal migration.
