Population Growth Trends in Algeria from 1990 to 2023

The chart highlights Algeria's gradual shift from high to moderate growth rates. In the early 1990s, growth rates remained robust, starting at 2.5% in 1990, slightly tapering each year through the decade as Algeria faced economic and political challenges, including a civil conflict that influenced migration and birth rates. By 1999, the growth rate decreased to 1.4%, reflecting lower fertility rates and a slowing natural increase.

A period of stability marked the early 2000s, with growth hovering around 1.4% to 1.9%, signaling gradual recovery alongside improved healthcare and living standards. Between 2013 and 2016, Algeria saw growth sustain at around 2.0%, partly due to a youthful population and enhanced public health initiatives. However, since 2018, the rate declined steadily, reaching 1.6% in 2023, influenced by slowing birth rates, evolving family structures, and an increasingly urban population.
