Analyzing The Dynamics Of The Unemployment Rate In Algeria Using Wavelet Analysis: A Study For The Period 1991-2023

Authors : Daoudi Mohammed .

Abstract

This study analyzes annual unemployment rate in Algeria for data (1991–2023) using the Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT) to decompose time series into short-, medium, and long-term components. The results show that structural factors have a greater long-term effect, while economic cycles contribute to medium-term fluctuations. Additionally, short-term random shocks have a limited impact. Based on these findings, policies should integrate structural reforms with cyclical economic measures to support labor market stability.
