“…Regional studies, on the other hand, deal with a specific region of the Mediterranean. The regions concerned are, for example, the Maghreb (Fargues 1990, Ouadah-Bedidi et al 2012, Sebti et al 2009, the Near East (Courbage 2008, Fargues 1995, the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean (Courbage 1997, 1999, Fargues 2000a), the Balkans (Deslondes 2004, Parant and Penev 2009, Sardon 2004, or the countries of Southern Europe (Avdeev et al 2011, Pfirsch 2011. But ultimately, demographic studies covering the entire Mediterranean region (pan-Mediterranean) are scarce (Attané and Courbage 2001, Carella and Parant 2016, D'Addato 2010, Fargues 2000b, Fargues and Salinari 2011, ITAN 2014a, 2015, Oliveau and Doignon 2014, Troisi and Von Kondratowitz 2013, Wilson 2005, Zagaglia 2013).…”

Demographic Ageing in the Mediterranean: The End of the Spatial Dichotomy Between the Shores?

The Mediterranean is too often presented as a heterogeneous geographical area. Demography has helped to create this narrative of a Mediterranean of contrasts in which the different shores are systematically opposed: a northern shore in decline, with low fertility rates and an ageing population, as opposed to the young and fertile southern and eastern shores, which are experiencing rapid growth. However, this spatial dichotomy is gradually disappearing due to demographic transition: population growth and fertility are in decline, and the disparities between the different areas of the Mediterranean are vanishing. Moreover, demographic transition automatically gives rise to an ageing population. While the varied populations of the Mediterranean are currently differentiated by their levels of ageing, it is inevitable that these levels will converge in the future. This paper studies this future convergence, including the hypothesis that the southern and eastern shores will catch up with the northern shore. It also envisages a potential challenge to the spatial dichotomy of demographic ageing in the Mediterranean. To this end, we will go beyond the national frameworks generally used for studies of the Mediterranean as a whole and examine each Mediterranean country at a sub national level. After creating demographic projections based on 4 prospective scenarios, we will use various methods (cartography, spatial statistics, etc.) to express how the southern regions will catch up, how the space will change, and how the spatial dichotomy of ageing in the Mediterranean will evolve.

The Mediterranean region has been much studied by human and social sciences. The length of its written history, and the variety of civilisations sharing a common history (going back to the Roman mare nostrum), of course, go some way to explaining this wealth of studies. However, the Mediterranean has only recently been studied as a global study area, rather than as separate sub-regions. We note that there is a lack of recent general publications, or writings in general, providing a synthesis or inventory of the various demographic phenomena on a pan-Mediterranean scale. The aim of this publication is to provide an overview and detailed description of the demographic trends of the last 70 years for the populations of the Mediterranean as a whole.
