A young mother feeds her child in the therapeutic feeding centre that is supported by UNICEF in Ndjamena, Chad. Exceptionally high birth rates are resulting in pressure on local resources as well as environmental consequences throughout the whole of Chad. Centuries old social traditions and poverty have trapped Chad in a cycle of high birth rates and high mortality. It is one of the world's poorest countries with the fourth highest fertility rate. With an average of nearly seven children per mother, and rising, the country defies the typical global pattern of so-called "demographic transition". Normally, improved health and development reduces early deaths and a fall in birth rates follows, resulting in a balanced population for each age group. The population of Chad, however, is around 13m and growing at 3.5 per cent a year, with two-thirds of its people aged under 25. Without greater efforts to limit this expansion, experts warn that Chad risks missing out on the "demographic dividend" ? a surge of people entering the workforce to boost economic growth. Instead, rising overall numbers of young dependants in Chad are exacerbating health and nutrition problems, triggering conflicts and forcing communities to spread any gains very thinly at the expense of improved services. ?
