  Abstract
  Economic theories point to variables such as inflation, age and level of education as some of the determining factors for the occurrence of unemployment. Therefore, this research was designed with the objective of analyzing the factors that determine unemployment in the city of Nampula, in the period between 2020 and 2022. To achieve this objective, it was necessary to design a regression model of the variables that determine unemployment as well as the use of univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyses. For the research, statistical methods were used, that is, the Ordinary Least Squares Method (OLS), with a quantitative methodology, through data from secondary sources and the use of the STATA 12.0 software, based on which it was possible to estimate the regression. The research results show that the determining variables of the unemployment rate in the city of Nampula during the period under analysis were the level of education and gender.
