Lhe changes in the socio-economic and political context in Tunisia over the last decade have favored social exclusion and the development of professional insecurity. The latter is manifested in particular by the diffusion of new forms of work organization, the freezing of recruitment in the public sector, the intensification of informal work, the contractualization of employment, flexibility in remuneration and the increase in workforce. The financial crisis of public companies and the unemployment of thousands of employees as well as the inability of the national economy to create new jobs forced the State to take emergency measures to rectify the situation. The post-revolution period (2011) and the Covid crisis have revealed the vulnerabilities of the labor market. Indeed, these crises have brought to light and perhaps reinforced the ills from which the labor market is already suffering, which consist of the segmentation between stable and protected work and precarious work, the strong concentration in the distribution of the wage bill in profit of employees at the top of the social scale, the often approximate respect for labor law, the significant weight of youth unemployment and long-term unemployment, etc.
The job market has still not recovered after the revolution and the Covid-19 pandemic to the point that it still displays significant friction, whether in terms of working conditions, remuneration or others…
Throughout a decade and despite the efforts made by the authorities to meet the challenges linked to employability and economic inclusion, the job market is still far from being back to normal. The national and international situation has had a strong impact on the dynamics of the job market, which is why the executive is committed – following President Kaïs Saïd’s call to put an end to subcontracting and put an end to fixed-term contracts (CDD)—to examine in depth the issues linked to the Labor Code, in particular with regard to subcontracting and adaptation to new work models, by promoting the principles of decent work and fighting against precarious employment.
During a meeting held recently at the headquarters of the General Committee of Labor and Professional Relations, the Minister of Social Affairs, Malek Ezzahi, called for developing an updated and urgent inventory of the number of subcontracting companies and the number of employees nationally and to intensify campaigns against precarious employment and indecent working conditions.
In addition to this inventory, the minister recommended the development of perspectives on legal mechanisms to combat all forms of precarious work.
