Today, Tunisia has some of the most progressive family planning policies in Africa, and it is the most progressive of all Arab countries in terms of gender equality and women’s rights. As a consequence, its fertility fell from 7 children/mother in the 1950’s to around replacement level by the early 2000’s, allowing Tunisia to harness the benefits of its demographic dividend.https://overpopulation-project.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/muslim-contraception.jpg
