A recent analytical report on the statistical profiling of NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) youth in Morocco indicates that the number of NEETs among those aged 15-29 is 2.9 million. The report highlights that 72% of these NEETs are women and girls.
Nearly three-quarters of the total NEET population have no qualifying diploma. The report, which provides a detailed breakdown of the socio-demographic characteristics of this group, underscores the significant gender disparity, with women disproportionately affected.
The findings point to structural challenges in integrating young people into the labor market and education system, particularly for women. The report calls for targeted policies to address the barriers faced by female NEETs, including access to education, vocational training, and employment opportunities.
