Industrialization and New Forms of Employment in Tunisia

By , on September 01, 2003

The present structures of Tunisia economy and the trends it has experienced are the results of four decades of development which are characterised by a variety of economic policies alternatively sequenced over time, showing evidence of a high degree of adaptation and of a strong orientation towards sustainable growth. After a brief reminder of the recent economic history in Tunisia, authors examine the recent trends of the Tunisian labour market compared to the other Maghreb countries (section 2) and the potentials and weaknesses of the present Tunisian economy with special emphasis on female employment and informal employment (section 3) in order to show that the economic growth of the past decade has been richer in terms of creation of informal/unprotected jobs by the formal sector rather than in terms of sustainable employment in the informal micro-enterprises sector.
