Morocco's Key Investments and Youth Benefits
Despite significant economic projects and infrastructure developments, many young Moroccans continue to face high unemployment rates, especially among those aged 15 to 24, where the rate has risen to 37.2% in 2025. Although overall job creation reached 193,000 new positions in 2025, the benefits of economic growth are not sufficiently translating into employment opportunities for young people. Entrepreneurs like Imad Zekraoui and others are developing projects in sectors such as cleaning services and electric vehicle charging stations, primarily relying on private funding and encountering challenges like bureaucratic hurdles, favoritism, and limited support from the government. Despite investments totaling over 520 billion dirhams and ambitious goals to generate 500,000 jobs by 2026, the pace of implementation and actual job creation remain inadequate. Experts point out that the sectors attracting the most investment—such as the automotive and aeronautics industries—generate limited employment, and a significant portion of youth remains outside the labor and education systems. The gap between ongoing reforms and young people's urgent need for employment highlights the challenge of turning economic growth and investments into sustainable opportunities.
