Intermédiation entre l’offre et la demande sur le marché du travail au Burkina Faso : la perte de part de marché des services publics de placement

Abstract

The study is based on the hypothesis that public employment services lost market share in labor market intermediation in Burkina Faso. The survey involved a cohort of 500 workers, all of whom obtained their first job through recruitment channels between 2010 and 2020. The sample is composed of 78.7% men and 21.3% women. The descriptive analysis of the empirical data showed that the ANPE has lost its position as the leader in job placement in the labor market (with only 4.7% market share), leaving room for other recruitment channels such as the networking channel (17.7% market share) and the company's internal channel (12% market share). However, the private placement channel has become the leading recruitment channel with a considerable market share of 35.2%. Furthermore, using a multivariate Probit model, the study finds that individual and labor market variables such as age, field of education, father's professional category, company status and salary level have a significant influence on the probability of getting a first job through the different recruitment channels.
