According to the High Commission for Planning (a government body), in a report issued Monday on labor market conditions, the unemployment rate reached 13.3% in the first quarter of this year, compared to 13.7% during the same period last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1339\">The report noted that unemployment affected 1.63 million people in Q1 2025, with 40,000 jobs created in urban areas and 25,000 jobs lost in rural areas. The urban unemployment rate dropped from 17.6% to 16.6%, while in rural areas it rose from 6.8% to 7.3%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1341\" data-end=\"1610\">However, the overall unemployment rate does not reflect the severe difficulties faced by certain groups in finding work. The data shows that unemployment among youth aged 15\u201324 reached 37.7%, while it stood at 19.9% for women and 19.4% for people with academic degrees.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12271\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12271\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12271 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0-1.jpg\" alt=\"Labor market trends Morocco\" width=\"1000\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0-1-768x430.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12271\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Morocco unemployment 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1341\" data-end=\"1610\">Economists often stress that the official unemployment rate fails to capture the full picture due to the prevalence of underemployment and unpaid labor. A related report from the High Commission for Planning noted that 80.6% of households expect the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/02\/04\/moroccos-labor-market-in-2024-rising-unemployment-and-economic-challenges-ahead\/\">unemployment<\/a> rate to increase in the next twelve months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1920\" data-end=\"2346\">In recent years, Morocco has failed to achieve strong GDP growth. The country\u2019s current development model aims to raise growth to 6%, which would help curb unemployment. Several studies affirm the Moroccan economy\u2019s limited capacity to generate sufficient jobs. Moroccan economist Radouane Taouil attributes this to fragile growth, heavily dependent on agriculture, which has been severely impacted by drought in recent years.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16809\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16809\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16809 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/96.jpg\" alt=\"Moroccan Women Spotlight Invisible Labor in Groundbreaking Labor Day Campaign\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/96.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/96-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/96-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16809\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Unpaid domestic labor Morocco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2377\"><strong data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2377\">Fragile Growth in Morocco<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2379\" data-end=\"2596\">Taouil told <em data-start=\"2391\" data-end=\"2411\">Al-Araby Al-Jadeed<\/em> that the newly created jobs in various sectors reflect the vulnerability of Morocco&#8217;s economy, especially with widespread underemployment and unpaid labor\u2014particularly in agriculture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2598\" data-end=\"2879\">Recent data reveals the government\u2019s intent to reduce unemployment, as outlined in its roadmap aiming to create 350,000 jobs by 2026, ahead of the next parliamentary elections.
