About this indicator

Source
International Monetary Fund
Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Records the number of inhabitants of Tunisia and how it changes over time. The official figure is produced by the National Institute of Statistics (INS) and underpins a wide range of economic and social ratios, such as GDP per capita, population density and per-head rates.
How it's calculated
Derived from population censuses and updated between census years using births, deaths and net migration. It is usually released as a headcount referenced to an annual reference date.
Market implications
Demographics shape Tunisia's potential growth, the strain on its labour market and demand for public services. A young population requires rapid job creation, against a backdrop of high emigration.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series, and inter-census figures are estimates that can be revised once new censuses or improved migration statistics become available.
