Demographic Shift in Morocco and Tunisia
A recent French study reveals that fertility rates in Morocco and Tunisia have declined significantly. Tunisia recorded 1.53 children per woman in 2024, which is lower than France's rate of 1.62 children in 2025. Meanwhile, Morocco's rate stood at 1.97 children, below the demographic threshold of 2.1 children needed for population replacement. This decline reflects a rapid demographic shift in the region, driven by economic and social factors such as rising living costs and changing lifestyles. These changes are leading to smaller families, delayed marriages, and reduced fertility rates. The decline raises concerns about long-term impacts on the labor market and social balance, especially given the increasing phenomenon of an aging population.
