 Algerian youth and employment policy: professional and social integration programs stirring precarity 
Based on a qualitative investigation of a panel of young beneficiaries of one of the anti-unemployment schemes set up by the Algerian State since the 1990s, this contribution attempts to understand why the creation measures of micro-enterprises and the programmes for the integration of graduates perpetuate precariousness among the most vulnerable young people and what forms of resistance they have adopted to deal with them? The study showed that despite the access opportunity to the world of work offered to young first-time job-seekers, the integration schemes for graduates do not allow job stability mainly among women, who find themselves in an ambiguous social situation, where they must double the efforts and lead a double battle. However, the family plays a key role in the success or failure of young people in carrying out their projects as part of the micro-enterprise creation scheme. But, the omnipresence of the rentier mentality in social thought has a negative effect on the mind-set of young entrepreneurs. In the end, we believe that the integration programmes of the graduates and the creation of micro-enterprises devices are not economic, but rather political and the government does nothing but buy social peace by redistributing part of the rent.
