In light of alarming forecasts predicting Morocco’s unemployment rate to approach 15%, Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch is intensifying his efforts to address this escalating crisis. Akhannouch has convened a series of emergency meetings to explore ways to tackle this serious economic and social problem.
In a notable move, the Prime Minister has turned to the global consulting firm McKinsey for assistance in finding effective solutions to the unemployment crisis. This initiative comes as part of the government’s endeavor to translate the royal vision for employment into tangible reality, as combating unemployment is considered a top priority in the kingdom’s economic policy.
This step is viewed as a serious attempt by the government to leverage global expertise in facing the unemployment challenge, especially given the difficult economic conditions the world is experiencing. McKinsey is expected to provide innovative strategies and practical solutions applicable to the Moroccan context.
Sources indicate that through these efforts, the government aims to achieve tangible results in the near term, focusing on creating sustainable job opportunities across various economic sectors. The proposed strategies are expected to include measures to enhance vocational training and skill development in line with modern labor market requirements.
As economic and social circles await the outcomes of these efforts, hope remains pinned on the government’s ability to implement structural reforms that will stimulate economic growth and create more job opportunities for Moroccan youth.
