Text of report by Nabila Afroun: "While 32.08 million inhabitants were reported for the year 2004: 20 per cent population increase by 2040", published by Algerian newspaper Liberte web site on 12 July
"Population and Development: Ten Years After the Cairo International Conference on Population and Development [CIPD] + 10," such is the theme of the World Population Day, which coincides with the 10th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development.
Held yesterday at the Palace of Culture in Kouba by the Health, Population and Hospital Reform Ministry, Mrs Kaddad Nacera, the director for health and population at the ministry, stated that "32.08 million inhabitants were counted as of 1 January 2004, that is, an increase of 4.88 million people in relation to 1994."
According to the World Health Organization's [WHO] statistics, Algerians' life expectancy is 73.4 years. Yet child-bearing is on the order of two children per woman whereas in the 1980's it was five children. The drop in child-bearing has been significant since the early 1990's, in particular starting in 1994. This rate declined from 28.98 to 19.36 per 1,000 inhabitants in 2002.
With respect to child mortality, in 2002 the number 34.5 per 1,000 inhabitants was recorded. Between now and 2040, health specialists expect an increase that could reach 22 per cent, that is, a gain of 20 years in relation to 1970 with respect to extending life expectancy.
In passing, let us point out that the data in the report, which was divulged during the meeting, revealed that Algerians' age at marriage is dropping.
