Tunisia

Tunisia's infant mortality rate of 10.6 per 1,000 live births is relatively low compared to the regional average for Africa, further reinforcing the picture of a robust public health system. This metric is consistent with the country's high life expectancy and literacy rates.

A high percentage of the population (70.03%) lives in urban centers, which is typical for North African coastal nations but places high pressure on limited resources, especially water, in a country largely dominated by arid and semi-arid climates. This urbanization exceeds the global average.

A major achievement for Tunisia is the 100% access rate to electricity, indicating successful infrastructure development and widespread coverage across both urban and rural areas. This contrasts sharply with many Sub-Saharan African countries and supports its high urbanization rate.

Tunisia's fertility rate of 1.83 is significantly below the replacement level (2.1), placing it among countries experiencing demographic aging rather than rapid population growth typical of many African nations. This suggests future challenges related to supporting an aging population and maintaining a sufficient workforce.
