Descripción
Sumario:<p id="p1">This chapter aims to show the importance of demographic dividend in rural development. It presents the concept of the demographic dividend, its foundations, and its process; its methodological contribution in the study of a Local Collectivity (CTD); and a practical case of modeling the development of the Commune of ENDOM in Cameroon and identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the municipality for its development. The model is based on two types of data sources: primary database on a small qualitative survey in the Commune of ENDOM and secondary data used for quantitative analysis and projections. The analytical methods used are Rapid DemProj&rsquo;s demographic dividend projections, descriptive analysis, and qualitative analysis. The results show that the municipality has entered its window of opportunity since 2020 and enjoys a favorable period for its development. Its planning should link this potential of its human capital to local resources for the effective development of the commune.</p>
