Authors : Bousnina Adel .

Abstract

The principal aim of this article is to analyze the problematic of the ageing of the Tunisian population, its characteristics, its impact and its perception (representations) in Tunisia. The first part will focus on a brief study of aging in Tunisia, its main characteristics and the evolution of the age structure. The second part will be centered on the impact of ageing and its main repercussions (in particular, economic dependency, financial and social impact). Our interest will be focused in the third part of the article on the perception and representations of the population on various aspects relating to ageing and mortality in Tunisia (among others, number and growth of the population, number of people aged 60 and over, the ageing of the population, the infant mortality, the current level of mortality, etc.), and this thanks to the results of an inquiry.
