Abstract

Abstract:
Cultural origin significantly influences economic growth and development by shaping values, norms, and behaviors within a society. In Algeria, the interplay of Arab, Berber, and French cultural heritages affects economic activities such as entrepreneurship, investment, and labor force participation. These cultural factors interact with institutional frameworks and historical contexts, including the colonial legacy, to shape economic outcomes. Understanding the impact of cultural origin on Algeria's economic development can inform strategies that leverage cultural strengths and promote sustainable growth while preserving cultural identity.
Introduction:
Cultural origin significantly influences the economic growth and development of a country. Culture shapes values, norms, and practices that determine individual and collective behavior within a society. These cultural factors influence economic activities by affecting attitudes towards work, investment, savings, consumption, innovation, and entrepreneurship. In Algeria, a country with a rich cultural heritage influenced by Arab, Berber, and French traditions, the impact of cultural origin on economic growth and development is profound.
