“…Unemployment (especially among youth), arguably one of the most dominant policy challenges facing the region, retains a fair share of scholarly and policy attention (Ahmed 2012;Angel-Urdinola, Kuddo, and Semlali 2013;Sayre 2016). This large area of research addresses causes, consequences, and possible solutions to unemployment, as well as the legacies of a post-colonial social contract in the region through which states promised public-sector employment to university graduates (Hinnebusch 2015).…”

Despite its political and strategic importance, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has been largely absent from cross-regional comparative treatments of industrial and labor relations. This special issue builds on a rich, multidisciplinary, and methodologically diverse body of research on labor and employment in the MENA, bringing together a collection of cutting-edge work in this field. The goal is to bring the study of the MENA into conversation with international and comparative scholarship on industrial and labor relations and to encourage more systematic inclusion of the MENA in comparative work. Drawing on research on Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Israel, and the Gulf states, contributors to this special issue advance comparative scholarship on migration, labor market outcomes, worker agency, and the relationship between unions and precarious workers. This introductory essay situates these contributions in the context of three bodies of research in the study of labor in the MENA: resistance and contentious activism, labor market challenges, and migration.

Angel-Urdinola et al (2013) note that almost half of ALMPs delivered by public employment agencies in the region target high-skilled unemployed individuals. The same observation has been made by Barsoum (2017), with a specific focus on programmes in Egypt.…”

“…The programme focuses on unemployed university graduates. It offers employment services in the form of career coaching, training, and a monthly stipend for up to a year (Angel-Urdinola et al 2013). Zouari (2014) notes that, driven by the political turmoil of 2011, a total budget of TND 611 million was earmarked for ALMPs in 2012.…”
