Research Center: Most Moroccans Lack Social Coverage

SaNabale Center for Studies has revealed that 77% of the active population in Morocco is outside social protection systems, and the informal sector accounts for approximately 32.5% of the gross domestic product in 2025. This sector is a major workplace for millions of Moroccans who lack legal or tax coverage, with the number of informal production units exceeding 2 million and 30 thousand. This phenomenon presents economic challenges, including weak tax revenues and unfair competition, as most activities rely on individual labor and unstable means, predominantly in trade and services. The study indicates that the government is pursuing a strategy to integrate the informal economy and reduce its size to 20% of the national output by 2035, through tax and social reforms aimed at enhancing transparency and promoting economic justice.
