Facing Up to AIDS: The Socio-Economic Impact in Southern Africa

by Sholto Cross, Alan Whiteside (Editor)

Originating in a conference held in Durban, South Africa in July 1991, this is a novel and incisive study of the global epidemic which is threatening to engulf southern Africa at a crucial moment in its history. Economists, demographers, and health planners present a range of new methods of understanding the likely course of the disease, drawn from the most recent research and thinking by social scientists on the relationship between epidemic disease, economic growth, and human resources.
