Third of Hiring for Women
The Democratic Association of Moroccan Women called for one-third of the employment and training allocations in the 2027 draft Finance Bill to be earmarked for women, particularly young women, women living in rural and mountainous areas, and women with disabilities. It also called for 30% of the Enterprise Support Fund’s allocations to go to women-owned small and medium-sized businesses. The association criticized the fact that earmarked resources had reached 825.6 billion dirhams, arguing that this would not guarantee equality unless budgets were tied to measurable targets. Women’s labor force participation rate stands at just 19.1%, while the draft bill aims to raise it to 21.1%. The association also called for additional funding for social protection, care services, health and education, and for the impact of public spending to be measured in terms of reducing disparities and improving women’s access to jobs and services.
