Facts & Stats

The region of Algeria has enjoyed a long, rich, and tumultuous time of it since the Romans used the lands known as Carthage, Numidia, and Mauretania. These African kingdoms weren’t too friendly with the Romans, and this proud history still holds a strong place in the hearts of the Algerian people.

In recent times, Algeria is better known as Africa’s largest nation. Today’s Algeria is a cultural melting pot where Mediterranean, Arabic, and African cultures mix with echoes of their more recent French colonial past. Outside the capital Algiers, the country is home to some of the most dramatic landscapes in the world where vast deserts blend with craggy mountains, salty chotts, and lush greenery.

The Algerian economy is Africa’s sixth-largest and heavily reliant on energy exports. Algeria holds the 16th largest oil reserves in the world. The rest of the nation’s workforce of 12.2 million people are engaged in mining, agriculture, light manufacturing, and food processing — all of which contribute to Algeria’s continuous growth as an economic powerhouse

Companies hiring in Algeriaare typically required to either own a legal entity in the country or work with a global employment solutions provider to employ on the company's behalf. Developing the processes required to manage payroll, benefits, taxes, and onboarding in countries like Algeria can get complicated fast, especially without localized expertise. If you’re looking to start hiring in a country like this, using a global HR platform like Remote makes it easy to hire workers in full compliance with all local legislation. In the countries where we do offer our Employer of Record product, Remote takes on responsibility for compliance so you can focus on hiring great talent and growing your business.

Risks of misclassification

Algeria, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Algeria may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
