To sustain its social model, keep its economy running, and address an aging population, France will need to rely on an additional 310,000 immigrant workers annually until 2040-2050. According to a report by the think tank Terra Nova, this number is essential for maintaining the active-to-inactive ratio.
In Morocco, the economic loss due to the lack of female employment in rural areas is estimated to be nearly 2.2% of the gross domestic product (GDP). While women's economic inactivity exceeds 80% nationwide and only 19% are employed, HCP recommends actions for empowerment to recognize the «essential but often invisible» contributions of women workers in rural communities.
