Generating more and better quality jobs
with higher productivity probably constitutes the most
important challenge the Maghreb countries will face over the
next decade. Despite relatively high and sustained economic
growth since 2004, employment creation has been insufficient
to significantly reduce unemployment, or to absorb the flow
of youth joining the labor market. As a result, the
unemployment rate remains high among youth, and has been
rapidly increasing among secondary education students and
university graduates. In addition, most new jobs are of low
productivity, often in the informal sector and benefiting
the less educated.
