If 2026 rates held for a lifetime, a woman in Tunisia would have about 1.79 children, below the 2.1 needed to sustain the population. Over the preceding five years it has held broadly steady. About 157 thousand babies are born a year, a crude birth rate of 12.6 per 1,000. Its net reproduction rate sits at 0.86, well below the 1.0 that marks generational replacement. Women are having children at a mean age of 31.4 years. By 2100, projections see it reaching 1.67 children per woman.
