Abstract

This study analyses the impact of macroeconomics variables on the dynamism of labour market in Cameroon. To attend our objectives, the elasticity of employment of used firstly to analyze effective employed correlation and economic growth. Secondly, the determinants of this elasticity were estimated in order to know the macroeconomics variables which influence the level of effective employment in Cameroon. In order to get these results the variables of WDI, 2008 and data of National Institute Statistics was used with the software Eviews. The result of our estimations shows a weak relationship between the macroeconomic variables and the level of evolution of employment. In a general point of view, our results can be biased coming from different data sources used to estimate this model
