Abstract: The evaluation of regions in terms of employment provides decision-makers with a valuable tool for pursuing the development of each region. Furthermore, it facilitates the decision-making process for the working-age population, enabling them to identify locations where they wish to settle on a long-term basis to pursue employment opportunities. The objective was to evaluate Madagascar's twenty-three regions under thirteen pre-established criteria. The multi-criteria mean weight (MW) and Combined Compromise For Ideal Solution (CoCoFISo) decision-making methods were employed to calculate the criteria's relative importance and perform a comparative ranking of the regions. The weights of the criteria were equalized using the MW result. The CoCoFISo method revealed that the first seven regions are successively Atsimo Andrefana, Analanjirofo, Boeny, Vakinakaratra, Alaotra Mangoro, Diana and Analamanga. Our analysis of the results demonstrates that these regions display elevated percentages, with 54% to 69% of the criteria exhibiting above-average values. Additionally, the values of their criteria are generally stable in comparison to the others, which are dispersed.
