Abstract : The escape from the 'Malthusian trap' is shown to tend to generate in a rather systematic way quite serious political upheavals. Some demographic structural mechanisms that generate such upheavals have been analyzed, which has made it possible to develop a mathematical model of the respective processes. The forecast of political instability in Sub-Saharan African countries in 2015– 2050 produced on the basis of this model is presented.
Keywords : political demography political dynamics modernization instability Malthusian trap mathematical modeling youth bulge urbanization Africa demographic dynamics demographic transition
