Notably, more than 541,000 people were integrated into permanent positions within public entities, with 75,000 of them transitioning from low-wage positions to indefinite contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, the speaker emphasized that 325,000 individuals benefited from the Professional Integration Support Program, with an impressive 98% integration rate. He assured that the finalization of this program is imminent and that a central committee is diligently overseeing the process, as there is an official directive to prioritize job seekers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bouzayaf noted that 30% of job seekers are aged between 16 and 24, while 64% are under 35, indicating a youthful workforce. He stressed the importance of nurturing a skilled workforce and affirmed the Ministry of Labor&#8217;s commitment to support and guide young job seekers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the Director-General shared that 126,000 currently unemployed individuals have been absorbed into the economic sector. A digital platform has been developed to monitor all professionals and facilitate the exchange of data regarding training compatibility with the job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite saturation in the public sector, certain fields such as <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-external\" data-dzsl=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">education<\/a>, healthcare, and <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-internal\" data-dzsl=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/?p=70719\">higher education<\/a> have witnessed substantial hirings this year. Bouzayaf emphasized the need for the private sector to create more financial positions, acknowledging the era of startups and artificial intelligence where rapid capital <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-internal\" data-dzsl=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/?cat=50\">investment<\/a> can promote employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another positive development, 10,000 new companies joined the social security system in 2023 through the &#8220;Al-Kanass&#8221; fund. The increase in subscriptions has contributed to boosting the fund&#8217;s revenue, which is expected to have positive implications for balancing retirement fund accounts, as per Bouzayaf&#8217;s assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Algeria&#8217;s 2023 job market expansion and efforts to promote social security participation reflect a promising outlook for employment and economic growth in the country. The government&#8217;s commitment to addressing youth unemployment and fostering a dynamic workforce underscores its dedication to shaping a prosperous future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent announcement, the Director-General of Integration and Employment at the Ministry of Labor, Employment, and Social Security in Algeria, Mr. Mohamed Sharafeddine Bouzayaf, revealed that a staggering 333,000 job openings will be made available in 2023, marking a 35% increase compared to the previous year.
