The problem of Coherence Between higher Education Policy and Employment Policy in Algeria

Abstract

Higher education in Algeria is suffering from many problems which damage the image of the Algerian university, but the most important one is the wide gap between the university outputs and the needs of the market labor. The cause of the latter is the lack of coherence between higher education institutions and the labor market. So, the main objective of this study is to show the importance of the coherence between higher education policy and employment policy in Algeria, especially with the emergence of graduates’ unemployment. Because of the absence of harmony between higher education outputs and the needs of labor the market, the Algerian public authorities have adopted several policies to solve this problem.
