Sociological Mechanisms for Implementing the Objectives of Population Policy in Algeria

Abstract

This study deals with the subject of sociological mechanisms in the implementation of the objectives of the population policy in Algeria, with the adoption of the national program of birth control in 1983 through the providing of contraceptives and the construction of maternity and childhood centers and the formation of doctors and specialists and others, but the fertility rates were not affected in a way that draws attention. Therefore, the Algerian woman had to be given the extreme priority as did the neighboring countries, such as Tunisia, through the implementation of the so-called policy of empowering women. Therefore, the State has devoted its full attention to education and coping with illiteracy, especially since educated women are less productive and the same for women who work. The state delved into encouraging the woman’s work and participation in the community, in addition to taking into account all that can affect the reproduction rates, especially with the adoption of the Algerian government the policy of urban apartments. It was finally concluded that the indirect population policy played a significant role in controlling the rates of population growth in Algeria.
