278. Demographic indicators, family planning and reproductive health: The use of
contraceptives has attained a significant proportion of 61.4 % of which 52% consist of
modern methods as against 43 % in 1992 and 7.3 % at the end of the 1960s. Factors
such as the residential environment and schooling are no longer discriminatory and attest to the
incontrovertible achievements recorded in human development and improvement in the general
living standards of the population.
279. A variance of more than 11 points between urban and rural areas recorded at the end of
the 1980s has completely been wiped out. The resultant effect is that the fertility of women
drastically reduced for a decade in the 1990s: the composite fertility index reduced by 50%
between 1980 and 1990 and the current rate is 2.27 children per woman.
280. The decline in overall and infant mortality rates which strengthens the speedy
demographic transition is expressed by an increase in life expectancy at birth which has reached
76.7 years (77.3 years for women and 76 years for men). Furthermore, the repercussions on the
age pyramid are obvious with the drastic reduction in the proportion of the youth (below 15
years and less than 20 years), practically a two-fold increase in the working-age population
(which has reached 64.4% of the overall population according to the last census figures in
2008) and the onset of an ageing population.
