The demographic and social status of the unemployed 40-60 years in Algeria through MICS 6.

Abstract

Algeria is one of the countries that sought to achieve social equality by helping the unemployed by allocating a grant to the  unemployed. but this grant has touched a certain group, namely the youth group whose age is between 19 and 39 years, while other groups still suffer from unemployment and the lack of any income to meet their daily needs. Especially the category of 40-60 years who are unemployed and belong to the category of the population of working age, and to know the demographic and social status of these 40– 60-year-olds we used the descriptive approach on a sample of 967 unemployed 40–60-yearolds, which enabled us to access the following: About 75% of them are married, and more than half of them are poor. In terms of sex, we have found that most of them are male. In terms of their geographical distribution, they are present on all the national territory and in varying proportions, and we have found that there are groups with a number of unemployed with the same demographic and social status.
