The Moroccan Economic Center (CMC) has announced the release of its latest monthly publication, Maroc Conjoncture No. 372. This special issue focuses on the 2024 General Population Census, exploring the socio-economic transformations it may unveil and the broader implications for Morocco’s future development.
This edition covers a range of critical topics, including:
- The deep demographic shifts and living conditions highlighted by the 2024 General Population and Housing Census (RGPH)
- The “Middle-Income Trap” and strategies for Morocco’s economic emergence
- Current economic trends and forecasts
- Prospects for Moroccan tourism by 2030
- The fight against digital threats
- Challenges of unemployment, poverty, and vulnerability
The CMC emphasizes that the 2024 census offers a crucial opportunity to assess Morocco’s ongoing socio-demographic changes. It will provide valuable insights into the evolving structures of the population and households, informing development programs in the coming years. By collecting detailed data, the census will help to address demographic needs, track living conditions, and develop indicators that can be used for international comparisons.
In addition, the CMC highlights the importance of addressing unemployment, poverty, and vulnerability in Morocco. It calls for more effective policies aimed at revitalizing the labor market and improving the living conditions of households. These efforts are seen as essential to creating a more inclusive society.
The publication also touches on the economic challenges faced by middle-income countries like Morocco, which have struggled to achieve consistent social and economic progress. The CMC stresses that the path to overcoming this stagnation lies in accelerating structural reforms. These reforms should aim to modernize the economy, transform production structures, enhance productivity, and strengthen mechanisms for social inclusion and development.
