The Employability Of Young Graduates In Algeria

Abstract

This study explores the employability of young graduates in Algeria as a multidimensional and dynamic construct. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyzed theoretical frameworks and labor market data to identify critical determinants: education quality, skills alignment, mobility, civic engagement, and language proficiency. Despite declining unemployment rates, young graduates continue to face persistent barriers to labor market integration due to mismatches, limited mobility, and weak language skills. Findings highlight the need to strengthen university development, revise vocational training, foster university–enterprise collaboration, and enhance international cooperation. The study emphasizes that improving student life and empowering local governments are essential for building sustainable and inclusive career pathways.
