The report analyzes demographic trends and fertility patterns, reviews shifts in age at marriage and contraceptive use, and identifies drivers behind observed changes. It outlines a national strategy and implementation plans, assesses progress across 2015–2020, and evaluates sectoral and social determinants of fertility, connecting evidence to policy choices.","Achieving the Demographic Dividend in the Arab Republic of Egypt  \nChoice, Not Destiny  \nSameh El-Saharty, Heba Nassar, Sherine Shawky, Amr Elshalakani, Mariam M.
