Youth unemployment and social strain in Morocco

A report from the Moroccan League for the Defense of Human Rights has spotlighted the grim realities facing the country’s youth, reports Lakome2 on August 20.

Every year, 350,000 young people enter the labor market, but only 240,000 jobs are created, leaving two-thirds in precarious, informal work

Moreover, only 20% of registered voters are under 35, with rising drug use, suicides, and irregular migration underscoring mounting social pressures.
