Analytical Report on Unpaid Domestic Work in Niger – 2025
The 22nd Ordinary Session of the African Union Conference, held in January 2014 in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), as well as the “Africa 2063” agenda, highlight that the Demographic Dividend is a central element in the debate on the emergence of African countries. It represents a unique opportunity for accelerated economic growth based on changes in the age structure of the population and the implementation of efficient economic policies…
Analytical Report on Unpaid Domestic Work in Niger – 2021
This document focuses on the assessment of unpaid domestic work. It encompasses all activities carried out within a household, regardless of age, by one or several members for the benefit of one or more other members of the household, but which are not subject to any form of remuneration. The appropriate methodology is the time transfer account, based on Modigliani’s life-cycle theory, which considers that parents transfer time to their family members.

CREG Annual Report - 2022 Edition
The Regional Consortium for Research in Generational Economics (CREG) is an African center of excellence within the NTA Network, a global network of researchers working on topics related to generational economics in diverse socio-economic contexts.
The objective of CREG is to help understand how demographic dynamics affect economic growth, gender and intergenerational equity, public finances, and other key elements of macroeconomics on the African continent. CREG is therefore committed to promoting the development and use of National Transfer Accounts (NTA) and National Time Transfer Accounts (NTTA) in Africa.
This 2022 report presents outstanding examples of how our scientists and experts collaborate and leverage data to address one of humanity’s greatest challenges: the demographic crisis.
CREG Annual Report - 2021 Edition
A demographic dividend (DD) offers countries the opportunity to accelerate economic growth while fostering sustainable development and enabling social change. It results from shifts in the population’s age structure, driven by a simultaneous decline in both infant mortality and fertility during the third phase of the demographic transition. To fully harness the benefits of a DD, countries require targeted investments in human, social, and physical capital. Most Sub-Saharan African countries are currently in the first, second, or third phase of their demographic transition, placing them in the category of pre-dividend or early-dividend countries.
As of mid-2020, Senegal had a population of 16.7 million, an annual population growth rate of 2.75%, and 43% of its population was under the age of 15. The total fertility rate — the average number of children a woman will have over her lifetime — declined from 6.0 children in 1992 to 4.4 children per woman in 2018. Senegal is on track to becoming a country whose age structure would allow it to reap the benefits of a demographic dividend.
CREG Annual Report - 2019 Edition
Research is one of the defining features of the Regional Consortium for Research in Generational Economics – CREG. We build bridges between scientific research and decision-making spheres on population issues and related disciplines.
The year 2019 was marked by several groundbreaking initiatives in the areas of research improvement and evaluation, notably the integration of gender perspectives into all our indicators. Progress was made in understanding the links between demography and development in the context of a youthful and rapidly growing African population. Continuing our tradition of excellence, our international collaborations expanded across the globe.
This meeting point for researchers, engineers, and others lays the foundation for innovation that could lead to major advances in research outcomes. It also represents a significant growth opportunity for CREG…
Report on the Joint Annual Gender Review - 2016
The United Nations Conference in Beijing marked a decisive milestone in the fight for gender equality. States thus began to more broadly advocate for the strengthening of gender equality conditions. Within this framework, the third Millennium Development Goal and the fifth Sustainable Development Goal are entirely dedicated to the empowerment of women and gender equality.
In the specific case of Senegal, conventions containing provisions relating to women’s rights have been adopted. These include, among others, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), adopted in 1979, and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights or the Maputo Protocol in 1998. Other instruments also define commitments in favor of women.
