title: Population growth in Algeria, 1966-1977, with some comparisons from Tunisia.
abstract: "The first results of the delayed 1977 census of Algeria permit an up-dated analysis of national and regional trends in its population geography.  After considering several basic parameters of Algeria's population as revealed by the census, this article focusses firstly on the high population growth rate and reviews the limited approach to family planning taken by the government.  Comparisons with Tunisia, with its more active population policy, suggest a divergence between the demographies of the two countries.  Regional population growth is then examined."
