Abstract

This research paper aims to focus on the German dual vocational training program and the Algerian unemployment benefits by comparing the two in terms of system concepts, funding and incentives, implementation strategies, and outcomes. One of the main findings is that Algeria’s unemployment benefit initiative remains largely a social measure with no real economic impact and is not linked to a productive development policy. It requires a stronger management and regulatory strategy, which could be inspired by the dual training system in Germany that has proven its success internationally in reducing youth unemployment.
