The year 1980 corresponds to a pivotal period of significant transformations in our society. Thanks to the improvement of the environment and standards of living in the countryside, urban unemployment will completely disappear.
The better preparation of workers and managers, added to progress in technical independence, will make it possible to reduce very expensive foreign exchange expenditure for training, technical assistance and orders for turnkey factories. Investments made or launched during the 1970s-1980s will ensure sufficient exports for the needs of the economy.
In terms of housing, construction will have reached the rate of 100,000 housing units per year and the construction program for the 1,000 villages of the Agrarian Revolution will have been carried out close to its time.
In the field of primary education, thanks to the exceptional efforts made during the first plans, total schooling can be considered a completed task. In secondary education, the number of students will generally reach the level of socialist countries. The number of students will reach the minimum necessary for a developed country.
In 1980, the main mechanical techniques will be mastered by a qualified workforce five times larger than currently and will make it possible to provide the main current capital goods necessary for industry, agriculture, transport and domestic use.
In the field of hydrocarbons, the essential links of the petrochemical industry will have been installed. Alongside the development of iron, oil and gas processing activities, basic chemistry manufacturing capacities will be able to cover all major products (chlorine, sulfuric acid, sodium products, industrial gas, etc.).
In the field of construction materials, the country will have gone beyond the stage of covering the major needs for primary materials and equipment to develop all industrial building techniques on a large scale.
The Agrarian Revolution and hydraulic development largely initiated the transformations of the rural world and began to bear fruit in 1980. After 1980, the coast will be dotted with a whole string of commercial, industrial and redeveloped fishing ports.
The railway network will have initiated a vast program of modernization and adaptation to the new economic map of the country. All regions of the country will have access to the modern road network, particularly thanks to the completion of the trans-Saharan road. The entire country will be covered by a gas supply network, while the electrification of the countryside will have covered all the towns in densely populated areas.
All wilaya capitals and many secondary towns will have significant industrial activity. At the same time, a modernization effort will have been widely undertaken to improve the conditions of urbanization in all areas concerned: various developments, water supply, sanitation, etc.
Villages will be promoted to university towns and will see several higher education establishments built there. It is ultimately the image of a country committed to progress, in all its regions, in all its cities and in all its countryside, that we will have, in 1980, a country where no portion of the territory will have been left aside from development and its benefits.
