Abstract

This study examines the interplay between the digital economy, social protection policies, and labor market dynamics in North African states. Using a quantitative research design and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), data from a survey conducted among policymakers, business leaders, and labor market experts are analyzed. The results indicate a significant positive impact of the digital economy on labor market dynamics, emphasizing the role of technology adoption in driving job creation and economic growth. Furthermore, effective social protection policies are found to independently influence labor market outcomes and moderate the effects of digitalization on employment patterns. These findings underscore the importance of adopting comprehensive policy frameworks that leverage the opportunities presented by the digital economy while ensuring inclusivity, fairness, and social protection for all segments of society
