In a nutshell
- Several internal and external shocks have worsened the socio-economic situation in Tunisia. Despite the slow recovery, one year after the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tunisian economy is still performing below its potential.
- The Tunisian labour market is characterized by a high unemployment rate for young people and women, low participation rate; discouragement of youth 1 and low-quality and informal jobs.
- Timely and adequate reforms are necessary to promote sustained economic growth and boosting better-quality job creation in Tunisia.
- The implementation of the proposed reforms requires social and political stability and a sustainable trust between the different stakeholders in society.
