Freelancing: a new option for Moroccan youth

Freelance work in Morocco is gaining increasing attention, becoming a main option for a broad segment of young people due to the weakness of the labor market and the high unemployment rate among younger age groups, especially those holding higher education degrees. Many of them express a preference for independence and flexibility, largely thanks to the widespread use of digital platforms that enable access to global markets and diverse sources of income. However, these young people face challenges related to the lack of social protection and job stability, as many work outside official frameworks without health coverage or social security, reflecting the phenomenon of "poverty despite employment." These challenges highlight the need to improve policies supporting small enterprises and to establish a social protection framework for self-employed workers, ensuring the sustainability of this model as an effective and reliable alternative to combat unemployment and achieve economic stability for youth.
