أثر القوى الزراعية العاملة على الناتج الزراعي الإجمالي بالجزائر

Abstract

This study aims to measure the impact of the agricultural labor force on total agricultural output in Algeria during the period (2000-2024). Employing an analytical descriptive approach and a quantitative methodology through the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, the study reached several key findings. Most notably, Algeria succeeded in achieving growth in total agricultural output despite its declining contribution to the gross domestic product. The results also revealed a complex relationship between the two variables: agricultural output positively affects employment in the long run, while the impact of agricultural labor on total agricultural output is characterized by fluctuation. Furthermore, the labor force explains only a limited portion of the changes in agricultural output, indicating that other factors such as technology and capital are the primary determinants of agricultural output
