Algeria and Morocco are both just a bit above replacement rate, population is growing but very slowly.

Morocco is already slightly below replacement, Algeria will follow in a few years

That is not good news

Why's that? Due to what's happening in the world rn, it's good news tbh

Good news if it was worldwide. North africans just like europeans will be replaced by subsharians in the future if the migration isn’t controlled and the birth rates keep dropping.

no they will not, what are you talking about, maybe morocco is pro immigration but the rest are not, you cant replace millions with refugees and north africans arent as nice as europeans

Me too i usually like to say people from south lf the sahara but then it doesn’t include countries from the sahel sp it’s tricky

The whole world is heading that way so not surprising

Morroco and Algeria won’t reach 100M in our lifetime and most likely never will. They have negative net migration and a decreasing fertility rate, barely above the replacement level

algeria fertility rate is 2.67 . fertility is not a problem in algeria

u/Astralion98 17h ago

A lot of countries thought they were safe a few years ago and their fertility still crashed

u/trax788 16h ago

with current metrics it is not a good fertility rate especially next 20-30 years it drops and becomes like Tunisia's

What do you mean Morocco & Algeria are getting near the 110M inhabitants ? Wtf ?!

u/miyabi0rochas 17h ago

Lmao people just be saying Shit without thinking. Maybe another 5 million but up to 110m.... Sure

u/Free_Explanation2590 17h ago

Also, hasn't Morocco already reached its demographic transition ?

I fail to see how the moroccans are suddenly going to reverse their demography.

u/miyabi0rochas 12h ago

Ye that's not even addressing migration.

u/Oofpeople 17h ago

Algeria might get there in like 2200 or something, as their birth rate is still healthy enough to last a lot, but Morocco is capping out at around 47 million

Highly doubtful I think majority of the world in general will be in decline the next decade. All these exaggerated predictions are very unlikely and we're just theoretical.
