Doubt it...although it is going thru a big mutation since Ben Ali.

Mutation? I'd say positive change.

Mutation is always positive change..During the Ben Ali years the army was neglected intentionally and all the money was poured on the police et security services...

I thought you meant mutation in a negative way, with correlations with cancer and other degradation.
Sorry that I misunderstood.

It doesn’T make sense..80000 that a lot of manpower and Tunisia doesn’t have a compulsory military service.
Algeria, with a population 3 times the population of Tunisia, with a National military service field 3 Times the number you claim.

size of the population doesn't really matter
Jordan, with a population of 9 million has an army of +100k
Israel, with a population of 8 million has an army of +170k
Lebanon, with a population of 6 million has an army of +70k

matter of fact Tunisia does have a mandatory military service, even more, every year at least 60 000 people reach the military service age, this year alone 31 000 people were asked to join the army as conscripts, 200 000 others are being sued for not showing up.

as for the 80 000 figure, that is not an estimation or a claim, that is the actual size of the army in 2017 that had to be revealed BY LAW so that the municipal elections voting laws can be passed.
the size might grow for the upcoming years to 100k.

It' snot really a problem of " size of pop" but fertility rate...
Today fertility rate is low and is sinking since a decade now...
The Q...is who gonna pay for the next old?

Tunisia is having the same problem as any Western country... Who gonna pay for the next old generation?
Tunisia doesn't have the living quality of a Western country BUT does have his problems...

we might end up bringing foreigners to work
last time I visited the country there was a peak in the numbers of foreign workers especially
from Mali and Chad ( African nationals as far as I saw and learned about basically take any job even with less pay than a Tunisian would get and in harsher conditions) and even Egypt and as far as South Asian nationals.
which is something you'd never see 10 years ago

Yep...and things gonna rise even higher in the next 2 decades...

And there is ppl...asking why don't we give those "foreigner" work to nationals?
Well...it's the same Q that France or any EU country asked in the 70-80' till today...

The answer is simple... A national DO NOT want to work the job that foreigner do...
A good part of our unemployed WANT to Choose the work they want EVEN though they don't work...
The dilemma of a falling society...

So let's reiterate f, Tunisia is filled with work... But not the work that many want to do... And most unemployed youth who DO NOT have any qualification ...still refuse those type of works...
