Data from Tunisia’s National Institute of Statistics indicate that tackling the unemployment crisis in Tunisia has eluded authorities for nine years because of the slow implementation of mechanisms to revitalize the labour market and lack of action in that regard.
The unemployment rate remained at the same level over the past nine years proves that labour market reforms have not mitigated the effects of austerity measures and cuts in public spending, subsidies, wages, fees and taxes imposed to address financial imbalances.
Tunisian authorities tried to break away from the weight of the old labour system, which was based on unqualified work forces. This factor, along with continuous political tensions, led to increased unemployment rates.
That is why international financial institutions stepped up pressure on Tunisia to accelerate control of unemployment rates and increasing growth in Tunisia’s weakened economy.
Despite various support programmes for the labour market by successive governments, many Tunisians said their conditions have worsened because of the rising unemployment rate, which has reached 18% (T2 2020). This rate was 11% in 2010.
Official statistics confirm that the unemployment gap widened in rural areas compared to cities and that the segment hit the hardest by unemployment is university graduates.
Specialists said there are structural factors keeping unemployment figures at their current levels. Such conditions will be difficult to address in the absence of a clear and structured vision guiding economic recovery.
Tunisian authorities have, in recent years, adopted various measures and initiatives to incentivize the private sector to employ more university graduates, given that the public sector was saturated. The measures, however, failed to achieve their goals.
The 2020 World Economic Forum ranked Tunisia 78th out of 180 countries on the unemployment index. That means it is very far from achieving its ambitions.
The objective of the cooperation project between ILO and KOICA: Promotion of employment for youth and women in Tunisia (ICT basis) is to enhance the accessibility to more decent work opportunities of Tunisian young women and men.
