Religion and Sociopolitical Dynamics in Nigeria Reproductive Health and Contraception Demographic Trends and Gender Preferences

Abstract

The author examines the impact of religion and religious beliefs on fertility, family size, and contraception acceptance in Nigeria. After a brief discussion of the effects of Nigeria's high fertility on its infrastructure and the standard of living of its population, the belief systems of tribal religions, Islam, and Christianity concerning sexuality and fertility are explored. Difficulties in formulating population policies that are acceptable to these religious groups and that will lower fertility are also described.
