The drafting of Morocco's next national employment strategy begins in the second half of 2015, and the first priority measures are included in the 2016 budget proposal.
The highly anticipated document will set several objectives with a 2025 deadline.
"The first (objective) is to create 200,000 jobs per year by increasing the employment content of growth," said the Minister of Employment and Social Affairs, Abdeslam Seddiki. According to him, the goal is to increase from 25,000 jobs currently to 38,000 per point of growth. "If all goes well, by 2025, we will have an insignificant unemployment rate, below 4%", declared Minister Seddiki.
According to the strategy's forecasts, these jobs could be created in the agricultural, industrial, construction, and services sectors. "At least three-quarters of the jobs should be in services to businesses, individuals, and the environment," said Mr. Seddiki, adding that it is "a matter of compensating for the delay in the development of service activities in Morocco and directing the growth of new professions based on knowledge, protection, and enhancement of the country's natural ecosystems."
"The enhancement of human capital is another objective set to improve the productivity of the national economy and its competitiveness, as well as the level of employee remuneration," he noted. The national employment strategy plans to implement new programs to stimulate the inclusion in employment of skilled labor, women, and young people. This will complement those already undertaken in favor of SMEs and VSEs.
The idea is to take action to facilitate women's access to employment, to put in place systems for the training of early school leavers, to strengthen the employability of the unemployed, and to develop continuing education for all categories of workers.
