Description

In the countries of the Maghreb where fertility was traditionally very high, the rapid and almostsimultaneous fertility decline in the 1980s came as a surprise. Demographers then predicted a steadyfall to below two children per women, following the trend observed in many countries of Asia and LatinAmerica. But as Zahia Ouadah-Bedidi, Jacques Vallin et Ibtihel Bouchoucha explain, fertility in NorthAfrica has again surprised observers by remaining consistently above the two-child threshold.
