The Tunisian government has announced an initiative to update the personal data of construction workers under 45 years old via the digital platform hadhaer.gov.tn. This call, effective from May 19 to May 31, 2025, aims to streamline the employment process for this demographic. The move comes in response to ongoing demands from labor coordinators to honor Government Decree No. 436 of 2021, which stipulates the activation of a platform for filling vacant positions 30 days after the data update is completed.

This initiative is particularly crucial as Tunisia continues to grapple with unemployment and seeks to optimize its workforce. The government's emphasis on digital platforms reflects a broader strategy to enhance efficiency and transparency in public administration. However, labor representatives are urging the government to expedite the process and adhere to the agreed-upon timelines to ensure that eligible workers are promptly placed in available jobs. The success of this initiative hinges on the government's commitment to fulfilling its promises and addressing the concerns of the construction workers, who have long awaited regularization of their employment status.

The national coordinator for construction workers under 45 has also called on the head of government to respect the provisions of Government Decree No. 436 of 2021. This decree anticipates the end of the manpower employment mechanism by opening a platform to fill vacancies 30 days after the launch of the personal data update platform. The workers are hoping to see these changes come to fruition, as many have been waiting for years to have their employment secured.
