Demographic entrapment On this site Dr Maurice King deals with the question "What happens to a peasant community if it exceeds the carrying capacity of its local eco-system and its ability to migrate and the ability of its economy to produce the necessary exports which it can exchange for food and other essentials". Dr King, a devout Christian, has very long and wide experience in Africa and he goes on to say that drastic policies are needed if demographic 'disentrapment' is to be achieved. He makes the remarkable claim that many African thinkers and men and women of affairs are privately convinced that the only thing which could now save most African countries is a 'one-child' policy, similar to the one which is beginning to arrest China's giant population explosion.
