Employment in Tunisia - statistics & facts
A large informal sector, the prevalence of the service sector, high levels of unemployment, and low female participation are some factors that have characterized Tunisia’s labor market in recent years. As of 2023, the labor force in Tunisia was constituted by around 4.45 million people. Of these, approximately 3.66 million were employed, while the rest were seeking employment. Although the number of working women has been slowly increasing in the last decade, men constitute the majority of the population employed in the country.
