Abstract

This research attempts to examine the links between fluctuating oil prices, economic sanctions and the employment in the Libyan economy. KIn particular this study attempts to answer the basic question whether UN's resolutions number 748 (1992) of 31 March 1992 and oil price fluctuations have any significant influence of the employment in Libya.
