Abstract
This paper simulates the impact of the AIDS epidemic on future living standards in South Africa. I emphasize two competing effects. On the one hand, the epidemic is likely to have a detrimental impact on the human capital accumulation of orphaned children. On the other hand, widespread community infection lowers fertility, both directly, through a reduction in the willingness to engage in unprotected sexual activity, and indirectly, by increasing the scarcity of
labour and the value of a woman’s time. I find that even with the most pessimistic assumptions concerning reductions in educational attainment, the fertility effect dominates. The AIDS epidemic,
on net, enhances the future per capita consumption possibilities of the South African economy.

E por falar em SIDA e no Papa... Viram aquela reportagem sobre a Igreja Católica em África e a sua demanda contra o preservativo?
