Tunisia
Tunisia, 10 years after the revolution, is dealing
with significant economic challenges. Economic
growth has been slow with the IMF forecasting
growth of the GNP of 3.8% in 2021. This after a
decline of 8.2% in 2020. National unemployment
rates are constantly at about 15%. Because of
Covid-19 and the subsequent economic recession,
national unemployment has reached 17.4% in the
fourth trimester of 2020. Women and young people
and especially young college graduates were
disproportionately hit, with unemployment at 24.9%
for women and about 30% for young graduates.
Young people have a greater chance of being
informally employed, which puts them in a precarious
working condition. This is in part influenced by the
low number of work opportunities, and in part by a
deficit of skills. The Covid-19 pandemic has further
increased the vulnerability of women and young
people since they are the ones mostly involved
in micro-, small- and medium-sized businesses.
Unemployment increases even the risk of violent
radicalization.
This is why we are present with activities that
promote socio-economic empowerment and
gender equality, enhancing the crucial and active
role women can play against radicalization through
training opportunities, and sustainable and inclusive
business integrated in the market.
