Abstract

This article aims to analyze the factors that affect the unemployment rate in Afghanistan. The study uses OLS model with time series data from 2005 to 2021 to investigate the effects of macroeconomic factors such as inflation rate, trade balance, GDP, and FDI on unemployment. This article also explores the factors that drive employment in Afghanistan and their potential for decrease. The findings indicate that all factors have a substantial and detrimental influence on unemployment, but that GDP and FDI have more profound impacts and are more crucial for improving employment opportunities in Afghanistan. The result of this study agrees with the theories that suggest that the above-mentioned factors have a huge impact on the rate of unemployment in the case of Afghanistan.

Abstract

This study examines how the regime in Algeria could survive the different popular uprisings throughout history, unlike the rest of regimes that experienced the Arab Spring.  The study argues that since the foundation of the republic, the Algerian regime has always supported quick political reforms as a survival tactic. Contrary to other Arab dictatorships, the FLN has always been in power, but, as a survival tactic, it has always been willing to make concessions. The Algerian government used immediate political reforms to dictate the populace's behavior during uprisings, which over time created a kind of negative reinforcement.  The study will employ an extensive literature review and archival records to support this argument. Relying on a fusion of classical conditioning, power-maximization theory and inherent factors approach, this study will prove that political reforms are used mostly as a tool of regime survival and power maximization.
