The Minister of Employment and Social Affairs, Abdeslam Seddiki, affirmed that to solve the problem of unemployment in Morocco and "absorb the current backlog in the medium term, to give work to the one million unemployed, it is necessary to create 300,000 jobs per year."
The situation is aggravated each year by the arrival on the labor market of some 180,000 new job seekers, while "each additional point of growth creates only 25,000 to 30,000 jobs," said the minister in an interview with the daily Aujourd'hui le Maroc, published Tuesday.
"Growth alone will not suffice to reduce the unemployment rate. It is necessary to support the inductive effect of this growth with other measures, by encouraging in particular traditional activities with high employment and growth potential, including crafts, services and textiles."

He ensured that his department "will take responsibility" by working to improve the governance of the labor market, to ensure more transparency and to create the conditions for a better match between supply and demand in the market.
Abdeslam Seddiki explained that his department plans to expand the scope and geographical area of the National Agency for the Promotion of Employment and Skills (Anapec). "We also intend to open the agency to non-graduates," he added, stressing that "it is absurd not to worry about the cases of people who do not have diplomas but who, however, have skills and experience."
