Tunisia's fertility decline is multifactorial
The article addresses the decline in fertility rates in Tunisia, where the fertility index dropped from 2.4 children per woman in 2016 to 1.5 in 2024. The number of births also decreased from 219,441 to 126,401 during the same period. This decline is caused by multiple factors, including social, economic, health, and environmental influences. Delays in marriage and childbirth due to economic circumstances and increased marriage requirements are contributing factors, along with choices to remain unmarried, childless, or to have only one child. Additionally, factors related to women, such as aging over 35, and male-related factors like smoking, alcohol consumption, and obesity, affect the likelihood of conception. Experts recommend enhancing awareness of reproductive health and prevention, improving early access to medical consultation, and leveraging modern technologies such as in-vitro fertilization and artificial intelligence. They also suggest reviewing legislation related to egg freezing to increase future fertility chances.
