The Metamorphoses of Employment Policy in Morocco : Towards an Inclusive Logic

Abstract

The issue of employment holds a significant place in public and political debates in Morocco. This importance is further emphasized when it is associated with young people and graduates, who are seen as the driving force behind a country's development.

The unemployment of young people and graduates can have negative consequences both socially and economically, hence the need for the state to implement measures aimed at promoting employment-driven economic growth.

This subject requires the use of a set of complementary methods and techniques for a thorough analysis. It is essential to conduct a literature review and leverage digital data to better understand the subject. Then, it is crucial to adopt a critical reflection to identify the limitations of various employment policies implemented by the public authorities. Lastly, action research emerges as an indispensable method to generate practical knowledge on the studied issue and propose avenues for reflection and improvement regarding the employment question in Morocco, in order to enlighten public decision-makers in their decision-making process.

The analysis of employment policy in Morocco has led us to conclude that the success of public policies in employment and inclusive growth must rely on strong political will. It is essential to coordinate actions, integrate relevant stakeholders, and reform employment governance. The convergence of efforts, involving governments, businesses, trade unions, civil society organizations, and educational institutions, along with governance reforms encompassing favorable policies, streamlined procedures, transparency in recruitment, and anti-corruption measures, enhances the relevance of employment policies. Additionally, adopting specific measures such as tailored training programs, entrepreneurship incentives, and policies supporting youth employment is crucial to foster their inclusion in the labor market
