Descriptive Study Of The Dynamics Of Young Immigrant Workers In Algeria
Authors : Smail Idir .
Abstract
The presence of young foreigners in Algeria for work is not new, but a traditional and historical phenomenon. For a long time, Algeria has been a country of immigration, receiving different socio-professional categories in a legal and authorized manner, and in another way: illegally and prohibited. According to UN statistics, the stock of these young people around the world is estimated at 12% of the total number of migrants. What is the reality of the numbers of young immigrants in Algeria? What are the factors behind their migration? Is their motivation simply the search for decent work, or does it relate to other factors and perspectives? So many questions plague our minds and deserve to be developed in this paper, with the aim of: i) determining the sociodemographic profile of young migrant workers in the Algerian labour market, ii) understanding their economic characteristics in the workplace, iii) knowing their representation and attitude towards their settlement in Algeria. The results presented in this study, conducted in 2022 as part of a survey by CREAD targeting 05 Wilayas across the national territory, reveal that 48.9% of our sample is young, falling within the age range of 15 to 35 years according to the definition of the African Youth Charter of the AU.
