Abstract

[eng] Efficiency Boundaries and Matching Process on the Moroccan Labour Market. . The capacity of a labour market to generate new jobs from a pool of vacant positions and unemployed workers is interpreted as a form of transactional efficiency. It can be measured by estimating a matching function which describes the exchange situation between the demand expressed by businesses and the supply represented by workers looking for a job. In this article, we propose to calculate these estimates using efficiency boundary techniques. Two alternative methods, parametric and non-parametric, are applied to the regional labour markets in Morocco. The results are used to evaluate the matching efficiency on each market and to evaluate the activity of the Employment Information and Orientation Centres (Centres d’Information et d’Orientation pour l’Emploi [ CIOPE]) created in the beginning of the nineties to make it easier to match the supply of graduates to demand. [fre] La capacité d’un marché du travail à générer de nouveaux emplois à partir d’un stock donné de postes vacants et de chômeurs est interprétée comme une forme d’efficacité transactionnelle. Elle peut être mesurée à partir de l’estimation d’une fonction d’appariement qui décrit la situation d’échange entre la demande, exprimée par les firmes, et l’offre, représentée par les travailleurs à la recherche d’un emploi. Dans cet article, nous proposons l’utilisation des techniques des frontières d’efficacité pour ces estimations. Deux méthodes alternatives, paramétrique et non paramétrique, sont appliquées au cas des marchés du travail régionaux au Maroc. Les résultats obtenus permettent une évaluation de l’efficacité des appariements sur chacun des marchés ainsi qu’une évaluation de l’activité des centres d’information et d’orientation pour l’emploi (CIOPE) qui ont été créés au début des années quatre-vingt-dix aux fins de faciliter l’appariement de l’offre et de la demande des diplômés.
