Indeed the new Finance act which is\u00a0supposing taxes increase and curb wage growth make protestators angry. The country is\u00a0struggling for six years to find an economic stability, as Tunisians see their living conditions been deteriorated. But is the Finance act the only issue or a simple spark?\nThe social and economic analysis shows that the situation is a bit harder, and the quality of the Tunisians life keep worsening from year to year.\nA sick Health system\nAccording to the Tunisian National Statistical Institute (NSI)\u00a0there is one pharmacist for 4 279 people in 2016,\u00a0an alarming figure compares to 2013 where\u00a0one pharmacist was available for 2 365 people. The access to care is also suffering from higher prices, and the number of doctors has been declining for 5 years. The country is now counting\u00a0one doctor for 808 persons, a figure in constant decline since 2013 when\u00a0Tunisia had one doctor for 772 persons.\u00a0In the same vein, the country is now registering\u00a0one dentist for 3270, while they were one for 2971 in 2013.\nA rising an unemployment rate and life cost\nAdded to the health system deficiency,\u00a0an unemployment rate rose to 15,3% in the third quarter of 2017\u00a0(12,3% for men and 22,8% for women). We can also note that the higher education graduates unemployment is constantly evolving over the last two years to reach 21,4% last year. During the last days, the demonstrations have claimed \u201cat least one life\u201d,\u00a0indeed life cost knew a high raise during last months due to the devaluation of currency among other reasons. The growing\u00a0inflation reached 6,4% in December 2017, added to the new tax rise introducing the Finance act, could explain why prices have exploded so far.\u00a0As an example\u00a0meat price has increased by 14,5%, the vegetables by 9,2% and food oils by 21,3%.\n“Fech Nestennew\u201d ( what we are waiting for ? In Tunisian) is a pacific\u00a0citizen uprising. The movement would like to step up the demonstrations during the weekend. Supported by the union workers, they hope the Finance Act withdrawal or at least some concessions such the minimum wage increase which might be enough to defuse discontent… so far.\nDiscover out our latest videos about the economic news in Tunisia:\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n","author":79,"featured_media":5058,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5761,5763,5766,5751,2961,5750,5759,5762],"location":[5587],"class_list":["post-28029","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-decision-makers","tag-direct-broadcasting","tag-economic-analysis","tag-economy","tag-institutions","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trending","location-tunisia"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"That's been few days that the Tunisians have been protesting against taxes increase and prices keep rising up.
