What stage of the demographic transition is Mauritania in?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Officially stage 3. However, Jamaica is difficult to pin to one stage. You see much inequality throughout Jamaica means some areas are stuck in stage 2, with many children to work farm land and poor access to health and education. The majority is in stage 3, where the increase in populations slows and there's a substantial increase in access to health and education. A few areas such as larger cities in Jamaica are now moving into stage 4 joining some of the worlds richest MEDC's. In stage 4 'natural increase' becomes stable or slowly increases, women gain a better sense of equality, families shrink and the access to healthcare and education is shared by most of the population.

What languages are spoken in Mauritania?

Asked by Wiki User

The Constitution of Mauritius makes no mention of an official language. English is used in parliament and taught at school but French is more popular and Mauritius is both part of the Commonwealth and La Francophonie. Creole is spoken by about 90% of the population, but is not considered as the "official" language and how to use its grammar is still debated.

In her book entitled Mauritian Education in a Global Economy (EOI, 1994), Sheila Bunwaree says that : " The official language of the assembly should be English but any member may address the chair in French." she uses this quote taken from the Mauritian constitution to explain the semi-official status of french in Mauritius.
