Population,economy and domestic groups: the Kitui case

An attempt is made to assess the impact of population growth and labor migration on the size and form of households in Kitui, a district in the semi-arid zone of Eastern Province, Kenya. The data concern two neighborhoods, Ngangani and Syoyua, with contrasting population densities. Changes in households and household forms are described, with particular reference to the effect of land pressures. (summary in FRE)
