Tunisia Needs United States Investment in Job Creation

Executive Summary
The effective usage of USD 100 million in Tunisia will likely help stabilize the country in the next
12 to 18 months will be delegating USD 100 million in job creation. The World Bank will be in
charge of creating hospitality and management jobs and technological jobs. No investment is
needed in infrastructure because countries currently invest there.

Discussion
With a growing educated youth population, investing USD 100 million in job creation would help
in lowering unemployment rates and provide government satisfaction throughout the country.
Social tensions are rising with the majority of the youth not having secured jobs.1 The cost of
living is increasing with inflation increasing.2 As people look for jobs, some join terrorist groups
as a way to get money and others protest on the streets. Creation of hospitality and management
jobs will help with employing individuals that graduate with degrees in a language. The majority
of unemployed graduates are women who tend to graduate with an Arabic or English degree.3
Additionally, tourism is increasing after the decrease in terrorist attacks and accounted for 14
percent of their gross domestic product in 2017.4

Generating technological jobs provides secured jobs. Another college degree that is
underemployed is people who graduated with telecommunications.5 Tunisia is one of the highest
mobile phone subscribers and 80 percent use their phones for the internet.6 Only four companies
help with the telecommunication networks and with a continue increase in subscribers, people
will be needed to help with expanding the network. 7
