The objective of this paper is to examine the effect of trade openness on employment in Cameroon. The methodologies used in order to test our hypothesis were the FMOLS and DOLS. The results of the estimations show a positive and significant effect of trade openness on employment in Cameroon with both methods. Indeed, industrialisation and investments were found to significantly increase employment in Cameroon. As recommendations, if Cameroon envisages expanding in international trade, she should encourage sectors that have a spillover effect. These include increasing industrialisation which will lead to increase in national productivity. Furthermore, the educational system should match training with jobs. JEL Codes: F16, C22

本文的目的是检验贸易开放对喀麦隆就业的影响。用于测试我们的假设的方法是 FMOLS 和 DOLS。估计结果表明，两种方法的贸易开放对喀麦隆的就业都有积极而显着的影响。事实上，工业化和投资被发现显着增加了喀麦隆的就业。作为建议，如果喀麦隆打算扩大国际贸易，她应该鼓励具有溢出效应的部门。其中包括增加工业化，这将导致国家生产力的提高。此外，教育系统应将培训与工作相匹配。JEL 代码：F16、C22
