Abstract

Nowadays, many studies revealed a mismatch between job’s offers and demands on job market due to several factors such as the lack of reliable data and the shortage role of public mediators. Therefore we proposed a new support system for the management of unemployment.

For this purpose, we have applied a Search Hierarchical Association Rules for Knowledge algorithm (SHARK) in order to bring light on individual determinants of unemployment duration in Tunisia. Hence, Discrete-choice models have been used to establish a accurate mechanism which describes the behaviour of long-term unemployed in Tunisia.

Thus, we developed a simulator to estimate efficiently the unemployment duration in order to enhance the process of matching by public intermediaries.
