During a press conference held on December 17, 2024, High Commissioner for Planning Chakib Benmoussa emphasized the significance of the General Census of Population and Housing 2024 as a crucial tool for understanding Morocco’s social and economic realities. He noted that the census, involving approximately 90,000 households, provides a comprehensive and accurate picture of unemployment in the country, enabling the identification of regions most affected by this issue.
Benmoussa added that the data offers an in-depth analysis of Moroccan society at the regional and local levels, facilitating the development of targeted policies to address unemployment and enhance job creation. He stressed that these statistics reveal the intricate relationship between unemployment and factors such as education and health, laying a solid foundation for devising effective economic and social development strategies.
Highlighting the broader scope of the census, Benmoussa remarked that it goes beyond mere numbers, serving as an analytical tool for strategic decision-making aimed at improving Morocco’s socio-economic conditions. He underscored the importance of linking the census data to other key indicators to identify and support the most vulnerable social groups effectively.
The conference underscored the pivotal role of the census in shaping policies that can address pressing challenges, improve living standards, and promote balanced development across Morocco.
