摘要：Labor is the vital component of agricultural production in Sub-Saharan Africa. If
size and structure are changed productivity of the labor force will directly affect food production
and consumption in the region. Sub-Saharan Africa, with 11 percent of global population,
has an estimated 73 percent of global HIV/AIDS¡ªrelated infections. Little is known
about the net affect of HIV/AIDS on the agricultural economy, but vulnerability to food insecurity
will certainly increase in the severely affected countries. The estimated health and productivity
costs of the epidemic will have long-term implications on the economic growth of
the countries.
