Résumé

Les conséquences de la COVID-19 qui a ravagé notre planète se sont avérées désastreuses sur le plan sanitaire et économique. L'objectif de cet article est d'étudier les répercussions des jours de fermeture et de l'indice du capital humain, sur le taux de chômage en général et sur celui des jeunes particulièrement. L'étude porte sur dix-huit pays de la région du MENA. Les résultats économétriques ont montré que l'indice du capital humain a un impact négatif sur le taux de chômage global et sur celui des jeunes en particulier. Ces résultats ont indiqué également que les mesures du confinement strict augmentent le taux de chômage, contrairement aux conditions de confinement souple.
