Overview
Annotated Bibliography from 2002 -2009 covers all the researches undertaken by the master’s students within the broad scope of Fertility and Development, Mortality and Development, Family Planning, Migration and other closely related areas. Within the scope of fertility and development, some of the researchers have examined fertility levels and differentials, determinants of family size preference, adolescent fertility among others. In the area of family planning some of the topics covered include fertility and family planning in Kenya, determinants of contraceptive continuation. The knowledge and attitude towards contraceptive use has also been examined. The Master’s students research work on mortality has been diverse. Some of the topics already covered include differential mortality in Kenya, indirect methods of estimating mortality, estimation of adult mortality, socioeconomic determinants of child mortality. These have been done at micro and macro levels. Other areas covered by the student research work include health and demography, urban transportation, population and food among others. All these areas form a significant theme of concern to policy makers. One important issue to note is that the research projects address practical issues and problems such that the findings and recommendations can be used directly by the private agencies. This program despite its versatile contribution is increasingly facing financial constraints.

Abstract
Annotated Bibliography from 2002 -2009 covers all the researches undertaken by the master’s students within the broad scope of Fertility and Development, Mortality and Development, Family Planning, Migration and other closely related areas. Within the scope of fertility and development, some of the researchers have examined fertility levels and differentials, determinants of family size preference, adolescent fertility among others. In the area of family planning some of the topics covered include fertility and family planning in Kenya, determinants of contraceptive continuation. The knowledge and attitude towards contraceptive use has also been examined. The Master’s students research work on mortality has been diverse. Some of the topics already covered include differential mortality in Kenya, indirect methods of estimating mortality, estimation of adult mortality, socioeconomic determinants of child mortality. These have been done at micro and macro levels. Other areas covered by the student research work include health and demography, urban transportation, population and food among others. All these areas form a significant theme of concern to policy makers. One important issue to note is that the research projects address practical issues and problems such that the findings and recommendations can be used directly by the private agencies.
