According to a World Bank report released in April 2026, Morocco needs to create 1.7 million additional jobs by 2035 to absorb its growing working-age population. The report highlights that while Morocco has strong macroeconomic fundamentals, its current growth model is not generating enough employment.
The World Bank notes that the country's labor force is expanding rapidly, and without significant job creation, social and economic pressures could increase. The report recommends reforms in education, private sector development, and labor market flexibility to boost employment.
Key sectors identified for potential job growth include manufacturing, services, and green energy. The World Bank emphasizes that achieving this target requires sustained investment and policy changes.
