The number of registered employees increased by 7.4% compared to 2008. An average declared salary of 4,335 DH. Manufacturing is the largest employer.
Since the entry into force of mandatory health insurance (AMO) in 2006, all indicators of socio-economic activity, understood by the National Social Security Fund (CNSS), have undergone more or less significant changes. The figures for 2009, which have just been finalized by the fund, clearly show this. Thus, at the end of 2009, the number of registered employees reached 2.2 million, an increase of 7.4% compared to 2008. Of these 2.2 million registered employees, 30% are women. The average age is 36 years. It is therefore a generally young population. Provisionally (because the data is not definitively finalized), this result represents 92% of the objective (2.3 million registered employees) set for 2009, according to the CNSS's specifications. Of course, and this is the rule of the game so to speak, these 2.2 million registered employees include those who have been registered at least once during the year. And precisely, the distribution of registered employees according to the number of months declared shows that this...structure remained stable compared to what it was in 2008: 48% of employees are declared for 12 months, 30% are declared for 6 to 11 months and 22% for less than 5 months. But in terms of evolution, the average number of months declared, since 2006, has increased by 6%, and the average monthly salary has increased by 16% in four years.
60% of insured employees located in Casablanca and Rabat - Kénitra!
The distribution of both registered employees and affiliates (companies) by sector of activity shows a predominance of three major sectors of activity. First, manufacturing industries with a share of 27% of registered employees and 12% of affiliated companies, including 10% of employees (or 220,000 people) and 3% of companies for the clothing industry. Then, construction and public works with 16% of registered employees and 14% of affiliated companies. And finally, commerce, car repair and household goods with 15% of registered employees and 29% of affiliated companies. It should be noted that the number of affiliated companies amounted to 116,000 at the end of 2009. But these are declaring affiliates, i.e., companies that declare employees.
The spatial distribution of activity recalls a probably well-known observation that does not seem to be fading; in any case not anytime soon: 60% of insured persons (registered employees) are concentrated in Greater Casablanca (45%) and Rabat-Kénitra (14%). And these two major regions account for 51% of affiliated companies. Finally, the declared wage bill, a consequence of both the increase in the number of insured persons and probably also the increase in the average declared salary, has grown by almost 9.8%, to 73.4 billion DH compared to 2008. Here again, as the CNSS points out, the evolution of this variable has seen a definite acceleration since the entry into force of the AMO (see curve). Between 2006 and 2009, indeed, the average annual growth of the declared wage bill was 9.85%. Between 2000 and 2005, this growth averaged 6.5%, a gain of 3.35 percentage points. That said, and despite these developments, there is still undeniably a long way to go to integrate a large part of the activity into the organized circuit. 2.2 million registered employees is certainly a very important result, but the margin for improvement is considerable. Let us remember that the employed active population is currently 10.3 million people and that the number of public sector agents (all professions combined) does not exceed 2 million.
