Morocco's 13% jobless rate amid growth
Although economic growth reached 4.9% in 2025, driven by significant investment efforts, the unemployment rate in Morocco remains steady at 13%, with youth unemployment rising to over 37%. The number of new jobs created has fallen to around 94,000 since the start of the government term, which is far from the promised one million jobs. Reports indicate that current policies have not translated into a tangible decrease in unemployment, especially in rural areas. Challenges continue to be linked to the weak private sector, difficulties in financing small businesses, and shortages of decent and sustainable jobs. The report also highlights the failure to fulfill government promises regarding employment for youth and women, with underemployment rates remaining high and job market stability declining, despite changes in the management of the Employment and Skills Promotion Agency.
