Abstract

This article aims to identify the phenomenon of unemployment among university graduates through exposure to its causes, characteristics, results, and the mechanisms available to confront this phenomenon. The reality of this phenomenon in the labour market in Biskra State was also presented. This research concluded with several results, including that the unemployment of university graduates in the labour market in Biskra is due to the high population growth and the increasing demand for higher education, which results in a huge number of graduates annually. In addition to the incompatibility of higher education outputs with the needs of the labour market in Biskra and the decline of the state’s intervention in providing job opportunities in the public sector. In contrast, the private sector imposes conditions and qualifications that are not available for university graduates (professional experience, which is, on average, five years, for example), which fails to provide the necessary competencies to support economic growth in line with the requirements of the labour market.
