Higher Education and Labour Market in Libya (Descriptive and analytical study)

Abstract

Knowing the contribution of each sector to economic activity through understanding the size of the workforce in those sectors can help us study the needs of the labor market. Furthermore, it assists us in developing plans and scenarios for higher education and the labor market that align with the size of each economic sector and the goals of higher education. Based on all that has been said about higher education and the Libyan labor market in this research, we can summarize the main results as follows: Low participation of Libyan higher education graduates in the workforce; Low participation of Libyan women in the workforce compared to the female population size; Libyan universities still suffer from weak policies, programs, inputs, and outputs; Lack of diversity in Libya's economic structure.
