Libya's youth unemployment leads North Africa at 50.1%
Libya recorded the highest youth unemployment rate in the North Africa region during 2025, reaching 50.1%, surpassing other countries in the region such as Tunisia (38.1%), Algeria (29.4%), Morocco (21.9%), and Egypt (18.3%). This figure reflects a significant crisis in the Libyan labor market, where approximately half of the youth suffer from a lack of employment opportunities, representing the highest rate in the region. A report by the International Labour Organization indicated that the rise in youth unemployment rates reflects sluggish economic growth, weak job creation, technological transformations, and the gap between educational outputs and labor market demands. Additionally, challenges include the proliferation of the informal economy and declining employment opportunities due to technological changes and labor market shifts, necessitating the implementation of effective policies in education and training to address this major crisis.
