Les Lundis de l'Ined, 18 mars 2019

Présentation par Clémentine Rossier et Géraldine Duthé de l'ouvrage Inégalités de santé à Ouagadougou : Résultats d'un Observatoire de population urbaine au Burkina Faso paru aux éditions de l'Ined en début d'année.

Discutant : Joseph Larmarange

Résumé :

Avec une espérance de vie à la naissance estimée à 58 ans, la situation sanitaire du Burkina Faso, et en particulier celle de Ouagadougou, sa capitale, est emblématique de l’Afrique subsaharienne où la mortalité reste encore très élevée. Ce niveau élevé de mortalité s’explique par la forte prévalence des maladies infectieuses et parasitaires, de la malnutrition et des décès maternels. Mais en ville, les maladies non transmissibles progressent et sont aujourd’hui responsables de la majorité des décès. En Afrique subsaharienne où l’urbanisation est rapide, peu d’études se sont intéressées à la santé des populations vivant en marge des villes, pour beaucoup issues du milieu rural et pauvres. Ouagadougou compte aujourd’hui 2 millions d’habitants avec un taux de croissance qui dépasse les 7% par an. Des quartiers entiers se constituent de manière informelle à la périphérie de la ville. Depuis 2009, l’Observatoire de Population de Ouagadougou (OPO) suit les habitants de cinq quartiers formels et informels de la capitale. À partir de ces données, devenues une source incontournable sur la santé urbaine en Afrique de l’Ouest, cet ouvrage dresse un bilan des différents fardeaux de maladies qui pèsent aujourd’hui sur les hommes et les femmes de ces quartiers aux différents âges de la vie, et ce, de façon inégale selon les caractéristiques socioéconomiques et environnementales. Les résultats présentés s’avèrent précieux pour l’élaboration des politiques de développement et d’amélioration des conditions de vie des populations d’Afrique.

The next International Population Conference will be held in Cape Town, South Africa from October 29 to November 4. Many DEMOSTAF participants will be present. Fifteen people benefit from a DEMOSTAF financial support to attend the conference. This support is substantial and has been highly appreciated by IUSSP. A side meeting will be organized during the conference period to present scientific progress to the SAC members who will be there. We will come back to you once the date is confirmed. Some of you will be invited to present the progress of their work.

Les lundis de l’Ined, October 2nd 2017

Presentation by Bruno Lankoande, Discussant Gilles Pison

Taking the example of Burkina Faso, where massive rural exodus continues to drive the urbanization process, this study tests the net effects of migration on urban-rural mortality differentials among adults aged 15-74. It is based on information collected at two demographic surveillance sites, one in a rural area (Nouna) and one in the city (Ouagadougou). The longitudinal data cover a recent period (2009-2013) and are analysed using a semi-parametric Cox model. In a rural environment with poor health conditions, it is the healthy individuals who migrate to the city, thereby strengthening the urban health advantage over the short term. While rural-urban migrants are positively selected in terms of health, they tend to lose their advantage over time as they adapt to life in the city. This deterioration after several years of urban residence is probably holding back the mortality transition at national level, given that these migrants were in better health in their environment of origin. For return migrants (rural-urban-rural), the absence of a negative selection effect in Burkina Faso again reflects the complex interplay between migration and health. Beyond compositional and contextual effects, the positive selection of rural-urban migrants is an aggravating factor in the health disadvantage of rural areas.

28th International Population Conference of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP), 29 October - 4 November 2017, Cape Town, South Africa

Statistics South Africa, on behalf of the Republic of South Africa, will host the 28th International Population Conference of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) in Cape Town, South Africa at the Cape Town International Conference Centre (CTICC) from 29 October to 4 November 2017.

The IUSSP International Population Conference is a major international event drawing over 2,000 scientists, policy makers and practitioners in the global population community to meet and address issues of common concern. The Conference takes place once every four years, providing a unique forum for population experts to take stock of recent research on population trends and issues and to debate possible actions and policy responses to the challenges posed by population phenomena.

The Conference will include invited plenary debates and panel discussions on population and sustainable development issues as well as over 240 scientific sessions featuring the results of recent research from around the globe. Sessions will cover a wide range of topics including international migration, sexual and reproductive health, poverty and inequality, population and environment interactions, the consequences of population ageing and issues related to children and youth, education, the labour force, and gender and human rights. There will also be a set of sessions on Population and Policy Challenges in Africa. Attention to advances in methods and data measuring population phenomena and evaluating progress towards health and development goals such as the SDGs will be a key concern cutting across all sessions. In addition, there will be exhibits, side meetings and training sessions.
