Would be more readable imo if the labels are swapped.
Axis is not aligned with labels for fertility rate. No zeros on axis as well.
What’s up with the years being xxx2? The *data points* are even 5 years.
Good luck maintaining replacement rate for indefinitely!
And I mean it. If Algeria can do this they might save humanity.
Tunisian here. For anyone who is not into Maghreb culture and doesn’t understand why Algeria’s fertility rate is 2.67 births per woman, Morocco’s fertility rate is 2.18 births per woman and Tunisia’s fertility rate is 1.80 births per woman despite all 3 being on the same level of development and seeming “similar” and starting at almost the same fertility rate in the 60s.
It is because Algeria is very much a lot more religious than Tunisia and Morocco because it didn’t adopt seculrization policies as much as Morocco and definitely not even nearly as much as Tunisia and if you are into demographics we all know religious people have more children. To get a perspective of how different these countries could be in religiosity. Algerian women literally sometimes come to Tunisia to wear bikinis. Headscarf percentage among women in Algeria is 74% while in Morocco it is 46% and in Tunisia it is as low as 21%. In Tunisia polygamy is banned. In Morocco and Algeria it isn’t.
Tunisia is like a slightly lighter version of Turkey’s secularism. Now for the difference between Morocco and Tunisia. There is a couple differences I have already mentioned but you could say Morocco’s secularism is new (last 10 years). While Tunisia has been in a process of secularization and atheism rise since approximately 2000. So it has more of an established secular culture
There is no possibility that the total fertility rate will stabilize at 1.5.
I think the correlation here is clear, high fertility cause low population/s
