Living in Tunisia

In Tunisia, everyday prices sit closer to the middle of the world's range than to its bottom. Pay still runs low, and though tax leaves you most of what you earn, the higher cost means little is left once a typical life is covered. Work leans on French and Arabic, with English useful in some fields more than others, and breaking into hiring from outside takes time.

Tunisia's diaspora is anchored firmly in France: of about 715.2K Tunisians living abroad, roughly 444.2K are in France, far ahead of Italy and Israel. That diaspora dwarfs the small foreign-born population at home of 51K, and the number living abroad has grown 15% over the past decade.
