Morocco enters the era of demographic aging after transitioning from a youthful to an elderly population
The High Commission for Planning in Morocco indicated that the country's population will increase from 36.8 million to 43.3 million by the year 2060, with population growth slowing to nearly zero by that year. The report anticipates a significant rise in the number of seniors, from currently 5 million to approximately 10.9 million, despite a decrease in the number of children under 15 by 2060. This shift will pose challenges for pension and healthcare systems. Additionally, most of the population growth is expected to be concentrated in urban areas, which are projected to host around 32.5 million residents, while the rural population is expected to decline.
