Abstract: In this paper, the trends of waste collection coverage, intermediate treatment, and final disposal of solid waste in the world are analyzed based on the cross-country analysis of waste management statistics. As a result, the improvement of waste collection service coverage strongly correlates with the increase of Human Development Index (HDI) and economic growth (GDP/capita). The introduction of intermediate treatments also correlates with economic growth, in which compost production and material recycling firstly become widespread in the low to middle-income stages, then following these, waste-to-energy incineration technology surges from middle to high-income stages. Anaerobic digestion also emerges from middle to high-income stages but in a limited scale. The method of final disposal of solid waste widely varies but in general open dumping decreases according to the economic growth, and sanitary landfilling increases

Abstract: The general objective of the study was to find out, compare and analyze factors of socio-cultural and socioeconomic nature that could explain the differentials in adolescent reproductive behaviour by gender and urban-rural place of residence in two districts in Kenya: Bondo and Nairobi. Nairobi represented an urban area while Bondo, a rural environment. The study was based on a sample of 533 adolescents. Of these 272 (51 percent) were females while 262 (49 percent) were males. Of the 533 informants, 296 were from Nairobi (55.5 per cent), and the remaining 273 (44.5 per cent) were from Bondo. The target populations were adolescent girls and boys, in and out of school, with and without children, in and out of marital unions. Information on adolescent reproductive behavior was obtained using interview schedules, focus group discussions guides and observations checklist. Data obtained were analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative approaches to complement each other in explaining t
