Abstract

Recent changes and current situation of the population of Tunisia. After twenty years of economic and social changes, Tunisia now experiences a demographic change. This is clearly shown in the reversal of its former tendency to a steady fall in natural growth owing to new cohorts of fecund women in larger numbers and in the check of the slowing-down of its annual growth with the return home of numerous expatriates. The gap between inland and littoral districts has increased while the traditional contrasts between the Northern and Southern parts of the country have diminished, particularly along the Eastern seaboard. Urbanization has become generalized with the considerable boom of small and medium-sized towns and this has resulted in the decline of the specific demographic weight of the capital city in the country as a whole. These social and spatial changes have caused renewed tensions on the labour market.
