Abstract: We study women's activity in Algeria upon a sample of 783 active women drawn from a household survey implemented in Bejaia in 2012. Thanks to a multinomial logit model and a series of earnings functions, we identify the determinants of access and earnings of women in the various formal and informal segments of the labor market. The low education level increases the likelihood of integrating the informal sector. This confirms the hypothesis of segmentation of the labor market and emphasizes the existence of a livelihood segment within the informal sector.
