Can the Social and Solidarity Economy Reduce Multidimensional Territorial Poverty? Evidence from Moroccan Communes
Persistent territorial inequalities continue to shape development trajectories across Morocco, particularly in rural and structurally disadvantaged communes. The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) has emerged as a potential mechanism for fostering inclusive local development, yet researchers still know relatively little about its territorial effects. This study examines whether and to what extent SSE activity contributes to reducing multidimensi…
Graduate Employability in Tourism: Recruitment Practices, Skills, and the Role of Digitalisation and AI in Marrakech
This article examines graduate employability challenges in the tourism and hospitality sector of Marrakech, a major tourism destination and strategic regional labour market in Morocco, characterised by strong seasonality, high labour turnover, and persistent education–employment mismatches. Rather than focusing exclusively on technology, the study analyses employability as a multidimensional and context-dependent process, in which digitalisation …

The hysteresis of the unemployment rate in a middle income country: The case of Morocco
This paper was originally published on tandfonline.com Unemployment hysteresis, where joblessness persists even after economic improvement, reveals the lasting impact of initial downturns. We delve into this puzzle in Morocco from 1999Q1 to 2019Q3, using four methods to examine the non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU) time series for unit root causes. Across all methods, we consistently find a hysteresis effect. We also explore…

Does less finance harm economic growth as well? A nonlinear smooth transition model (STAR) perspective
Our study provides an in-depth examination of the relationship between financial development and economic growth in Morocco, revealing key threshold effects through a nonlinear smooth transition model (STAR). Analysis of Moroccan banking and stock market development indexes reveals that the stock market was significantly impacted by the 2008 global financial crisis, showing a decline, while the banking system continued an upward trajectory. STAR …
Youth ‘not in education, employment, or training’ (Neet) in North Africa: Do household structure, subjective factors, and political dimensions affect Neet outcomes differently by gender
Youth’s life paths have become increasingly challenging, especially for those classified as ‘Not in Education, Employment, or Training’ (NEET), who comprise 31.2% of North Africa’s youth population. This paper contributes to the growing discourse on the NEET phenomenon by exploring its structural and psychosocial dimensions in North Africa, with a specific focus on gender. Using a rich micro-level dataset of 7,815 individuals aged 15 to 29 from M…

The vulnerable workforce: Covid-19 and the fate of atypical workers
The Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly affected the global workforce, with certain occupational groups facing greater challenges than others. Atypical part-time, temporary, and gig job workers are among the most vulnerable. This paper first examines the impact of the COVID-19 health crisis on atypical/ contingent workers by firm size, industry, and region. Second, we explore the factors determining the increase/decrease …
Perceived effectiveness of entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial mindset, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention among Moroccan university students: A correlational study
The high unemployment rates among Moroccan university graduates and their strong demand for public sector jobs have prompted educational authorities to promote entrepreneurship training in higher education. This study aims to investigate the relationship between four variables related to entrepreneurship (perceived effectiveness of entrepreneurship training, entrepreneurial spirit, self-efficacy, and intention) among Moroccan university students,…
Impact of cooperative entrepreneurship on territorial human development in Morocco – Spatial analysis
Purpose This paper deals with the spatial impact of cooperative entrepreneurship on territorial human development in Morocco. Within the background of the new development model in Morocco, this study aims to explore how the social and solidarity economy (SSE) through the cooperative model can reduce territorial inequalities by promoting economic dynamics in territories with suboptimal human development. Design/methodology/approach The empirical m…
Burnout, self-efficacy and job satisfaction among primary school teachers in Morocco
This study aims at testing the structures of three scales designed for measurement of self-efficacy, burnout and job satisfaction among Moroccan primary school teachers. The study also seeks to explore the possible correlations between these three latent variables. 404 teachers from a small city (El Kalaa Des Sraghna) participated in this study. Data were analyzed by a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using the AMOS 25 software. Findings of the…
Convergence éducative et déterminants socio-économiques: Analyse Spatiale Sur Des Données Marocaines
Le rapprochement des niveaux de développement économique constitue une préoccupation majeure des politiques régionales au Maroc. Ce problème se manifeste en particulier par l'existence d'un grand nombre de régions pauvres dont les performances scolaires sont faibles. Basé sur des données provinciales du recensement général de la population et de l'habitat de 2004 et 1994 et sur l'analyse des données spatiales, l'objet de ce travail est d'analyser…

La politique d'alphabétisation au Maroc: Quel Rôle Pour Le Secteur Associatif
Cet article s’interroge sur la capacité réelle du secteur associatif à assurer le rôle central qui lui est assigné dans la politique d’alphabétisation. Sur la base de données nationales et d’enquêtes qualitatives, nous cherchons à dégager les principales contraintes qui pèsent sur ce secteur. Les espoirs suscités par la dynamique de ce secteur ne devraient pas cacher les risques réels d’échec liés aux conditions objectives de son développement
