Abstract EN

We aim through this study to evaluate the effectiveness of the factors affecting the overall demand for labor in Algeria, because the equilibrume of labor market is one of the main objectives of economic development programs, where the volume of employment serves, for its part, as the most important indicator approved for its assessment.

The multiple regression method was adopted on the data of the Algerian economy for the period between 1993 and 2018, it was appropriate in this case, unlike the Johansson methodology or the ARDL model, which could not be applied in reason of variables series stationarity, that did not correspond to the conditions of these two approaches.

Employment elasticity was found to be positively significant for GDP per capita, aggregate investment, government expenditure, and trade openness of 20%, 13%, 33%, and 14% for each of them respectively.

as for foreign direct investment and inflation had a small and significant negative impact on employment, this is reflected by an estimated elasticity of 0.

04% and 0.

4% for the two variables respectively, this leads to s to question the specificity of the functioning of the Algerian economy.
