The emigration of Algerian competencies

In the context of the pandemic, in February 2022, the news of the success of 1,200 Algerian doctors in a skills equivalency examination in France brought the phenomenon of physicians’ emigration back to the forefront of public debate, and reopened discussions on the emigration of Algerian skills in general. The publication of this work represents a contribution by the CRASC to this public debate, in addition to its involvement in studies on Algerian emigration. “(...) CRASC delivers a work that is both rich and profound, the first research report in Algeria of high quality, marking a historical moment. It also includes the testimony of a returning migrant and outlines several avenues that could contribute to the development of an Algerian policy toward our scientific diaspora.” Mohamed Saïb MUSETTE, excerpt from the preface.
