Report Shows Change in Youth-Agency Ties

The report examines unprecedented shifts in the relationship between Moroccan youth and institutions, highlighting new forms of expression and participation. It shows that Generation Z, aged between 15 and 34 and making up about 32% of the population, is engaging with public life in varied ways through digital platforms such as blogs, podcasts, and applications like Discord. These changes are reshaping social relationships, leading to a decline in trust toward political institutions, and increasing demands for change, as policymakers struggle to understand and meet the youth's aspirations. The report also warns of gaps in how institutions comprehend these new trends and emphasizes that strengthening digital literacy, institutional communication, and activating participation mechanisms like the Youth Advisory Council are essential to address digital challenges related to data protection and combating misinformation. It cautions that continued dissonance might hinder the development of appropriate policies for this generation.
