Abstract

The main theme of the article is demography and its possible links with rural development in Madagascar. To do this, studies supported by various specific documents were carried out, in the district of Antsirabe II, located in the region Vakinankaratra, in Madagascar., between the period of 2001 and 2018. In general, rapid population growth, brought about by a high and sustained fertility rate, is associated with higher poverty rates, low rates of primary education, and rates of infant and maternal mortality which remain high, each country or the regions concerned, as confirmed by the debates or concepts of demography but the related problem depends on the specificity of- of each country or the regions concerned, as confirmed by the debates or concepts of demography. So especially since Madagascar is one of the least developed countries (LDCs) in the world, despite its strong legendary potential which is not sufficiently. What’s more, many development projects in black Africa have experienced partial or total failures. Thus, the various development theories that conceptualize “the links between demography and conceptualized rural development will be confronted with the reality of the Malagasy rural world. (Case of the District of Antsirabe II). So, in order to develop knowledge on the demography of development, this research aims to determine the demographic approach consistent with our rural development likely to reduce rural poverty and control demographic factors by integrating the impact of the population explosion on the process of rural development, the diversities of the demographic transition in Madagascar, and the primacy of demographic change over economic changes. The characterization of a real demographic approach to our rural development, by combining all these concepts, would make it possible to determine the "dimensions" of demography, supported by scientific information, on the sustainable development of our world. So, beginning with a brief reminder on local rural development, this article presents the demographic issue on the Malagasy rural development process. Although this process has already been the subject of several strategies, it is clear that in its components, demographics are among the poor relatives in the system. This encourages us to review the inextricable links between these two constituents, more precisely the impact of strong demographic growth on local rural development, by analyzing the case of the District of Antsirabe II, especially since according to the Mexico Declaration, to be realistic, development policies, plans and programs must take into account the inextricable links between people, resources, environment and development.
