The Self-employment System In Algeria: Between Support And ‎supervision

Authors : Boufama Samira .

Abstract

In light of global economic and ‎social developments, self ‎employment has become a ‎strategic tool for fostering ‎economic growth and creating job ‎opportunities. Accordingly, ‎Algeria has recently introduced ‎the self-employed ‎contractor model as part of its ‎efforts to integrate the informal ‎sector into the formal economy by ‎establishing a legal and ‎regulatory framework that ‎simplifies procedures and enables ‎individuals to engage in economic ‎activities lawfully. The enactment ‎of Law No. 23-22 on self-‎employment underscores the role ‎of self-employed contractors as a ‎key mechanism for supporting the ‎national economy and promoting ‎sustainable development.‎ This study aims to analyze the ‎legal framework governing self-‎employed contractors in Algeria, ‎with a particular focus on the ‎conditions for registration, rights, ‎obligations, and regulatory ‎oversight of their activities.‎
