Abstract: Abstract Tunisia offers an original example in the Arab world. Despite a number of handicaps such as a rather small territory, which is partly semi-desert and has few natural resources, in 30 years the country has managed to increase the population’s standard of living by 160 per cent, greatly slowed population growth, eliminated extreme poverty and created a large middle class so that inequalities have clearly diminished by comparison with those observed under the former Protectorate.
