Alors que tout le monde s'accorde à reconnaître la nécessité de développer des théories explicatives de la population où la dimension sociologique et culturelle des phénomènes démographiques soit réellement prise en compte, les travaux dans ce domaine restent encore extrêmement rares. La Chaire Quetelet 1981 constitue de ce point de vue une exception puisque, pour la première fois sans doute, sociologues et démographes se sont réunis pendant trois jours pour confronter leurs hypothèses au sujet des rapports entre structures sociales et population. Les textes rassemblés dans ce volume rendent compte de cette interrogation. Ils constitueront sans aucun doute une référence utile non seulement pour les spécialistes de la population soucieux d'élaborer des modèles explicatifs de phénomènes tels que la transition démographique ou la baisse de la fécondité des pays industrialisés depuis l'après-guerre, mais également pour tous les sociologues désireux de renouer avec la grande tradition sociologique de l'étude comparative des structures sociales, notamment sous l'angle de ce que Durkheim, Mauss et Halbwachs appelaient la "morphologie sociale".

While the analysis is not the first to investigate empirically the effects of different individual or household factors on school access and completion of Ghanaians, it extends previous work by simultaneously incorporating individual, household, community, regional and national characteristics and also illustrates the latest evidence by applying international data sources and unusually detailed household survey data for a sub-Saharan country. Its focus is threefold: (i) gaining a richer understanding of which external influences hinder educational access and attainment in Ghana, (ii) how to better tackle these challenges and (iii) analyzing how educational development affects the country‘s overall development. An interview with the Minister of Education helps guide the policy orientation of the analysis by identifying several critical challenges and areas of needed policy attention. Findings from the data analysis indicate that the geographic divide between the North and South, increased economic growth, demographic pressure and a number of individual, household and community factors especially children‘s nutritional and labour status are the most important challenges in increasing levels of education among Ghanaians in years to come. Finally, the analysis pilots a new and comprehensive results- and capacity-focused policy matrix to help the Government of Ghana realign policy priorities and reform existing programs. To this end, respective policy levers on the demand- and supply-side are discussed, with particular reference to external and demand-side interventions which have not received the necessary attention at the policy-level to improve educational opportunities and outcomes at all levels.
