Internal migration and urban growth trends are featured, showing which provinces are gaining and which are losing people. Seven pages are devoted to the impact of HIV/AIDS on population trends. A further seven pages are dedicated to families, including child-headed households, orphans, the presence or absence of fathers, single parents, and teenage pregnancy. Human Development Index trends are tracked back to 1980. The chapter concludes with a section on emigrants, residence permit holders, refugees and asylum seekers, as well as deportations.
