  abstract = {{T}he {M}aghreb countries share a similar demographic profile: around 40% of the population is under twenty-five years of age. {T}he recent upsurge in the birth rate also implies, in the medium term, a large and lasting proportion of young people being in post-school phase and at the point of entry into working life. {C}onsidering these structural similarities, is the evolution of higher education going the same path among countries of {N}orth {A}frica? {T}his article explores this question by examining detailed statistics for {A}lgeria and {M}orocco. {T}hey reveal that the two countries have made different university policy choices, but that they are both affected by comparable transformations: the massification and feminisation of their enrolments; a relative emergence of the private sector, occurring recently but at different times; and substantial investments to generalise access for young people to university education, which is considered essential for development. {T}hese observations lead to a regional perspective with a prospective vision. {A} projection of recent trends over the coming decades, linked to demographic forecasts, is proposed. {T}his exercise proves to be highly instructive in assessing the challenges that the situation poses to policymakers.},
