Egypt, Jordan and Syria are three Arab countries whose fertility levels and recent trends are comparable. The fertility rates for the three countries (TFR between 3 and 4) fall in the mid-range1 and they are all experiencing a plateau in their declining trends. They are also sharing the same medium human development level (UNDP, 2013). On the other hand, these countries are very different in terms of their population sizes as well as the approach to population policies.
