Morocco's labor data shows higher figures than unemployment
The article analyzed labor market indicators in Morocco, which are based on a new methodology adopted by the High Commission for Planning starting in 2026. The aim is to measure unemployment more accurately and comprehensively. It indicated that the official unemployment rate reached 9.5% during the second quarter of 2026. However, supplementary indicators that include underemployment and the potential labor force increase the estimates of the "actual unemployment" to 18.9%. The analysis also showed that the active population percentage is 42.2%, with women’s participation being particularly low at 18.1%. This reflects significant economic and social challenges in building a robust social protection system. The report emphasizes the importance of viewing the full picture of the labor market by measuring all forms of underutilization of employment, rather than relying solely on the official rate. It also highlights the need to boost workforce participation to support the Moroccan economy and achieve sustainable growth.
