Population Policy in Algeria: Between Planning and the Reality of Achieving the Goal of Birth Spacing
- An Applied Study Based on Population Data of Algeria-
Abstract
Algeria did not initially prioritize its population growth rate when it gained independence, because focusing on compensating for the victims of the war of liberation. It did not adopt a specific Family planning until 1982, within the framework of the five-point plan 1980-1984. During this plan, a committee was formed to study the country's demographic situation, aiming to control the long-term and medium-term birth rate in Algeria.
In recent years, there has been much discussion about the demographic issue, as numerous economic, social, and demographic studies have addressed this highly sensitive matter, which fundamentally affects the society, which is influenced by the age of first marriage and the educational level of women.
Based on these considerations, we will attempt to understand the key areas the government emphasized in pursuit of its demographic goals, which undoubtedly had economic, social, and political implications.
