Jocelyn Finlay – The fertility crisis
Channel: UNU-WIDER
Date: 2016-11-08

Unlike other regions in the world, fertility rates have remained high in sub-Saharan Africa. In this video, Jocelyn Finlay of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health shares that one reason for the region’s high sustained fertility is a positive fertility response to crises. 

Her research approaches the issue from the mother’s perspective to explore how having a child can build resilience in war contexts.
