Abstract:

Trends in fertility in Northern Africa are analyzed "based on the results of the application of the Bongaarts Model to the fertility data collected in three North African countries (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) between 1979 and 1986." The accuracy of the Bongaarts model is critically examined, and suggestions are made for improvements. (SUMMARY IN ENG) (EXCERPT)
