Analysis# Tunisia Fertility Rate
Tunisia's fertility rate stands at 1.818 births per woman in 2024, representing one of the most dramatic demographic shifts in North Africa. The country has plummeted 74.6% from its 1963 peak of 7.17 births per woman, approaching its all-time low of 1.8 reached in 2021. This sustained decline reflects fundamental changes in family planning, education, and economic development over six decades.
The sharpest fertility drops occurred between 2015 and 2021, when the rate fell from 2.306 to 1.8 births per woman—a compressed decline of over 20% in just six years. Since hitting bottom in 2021, the rate has stabilized around 1.8, with minimal fluctuation through 2024. Tunisia now maintains fertility levels comparable to developed nations, signaling completion of its demographic transition and continued population aging.
