Document sur les remarques de M. Benchiha au sujet de la question de la main d’oeuvre indigène en Algérie, Février 1942
Description
Boucif Benchiha notes a decline in the size and output of the workforce in Algeria. If some underline the laziness of the indigenous, Benchiha explains it by various elements, in particular the disappearance of the seasonal workforce (“Algeria no longer receives periodically from Morocco these large contingents of agricultural workers”) and the difficulty for them. natives to dress and feed themselves appropriately. Benchiha proposes to open the doors of Morocco to seasonal workers, to organize supplies; to build up and distribute larger stocks of clothing.
