Moroccan women are living longer and becoming more educated, yet they remain underrepresented in the labor market and decision-making roles. The latest HCP report shows persistent gender gaps in employment, income, and access to education, particularly in rural areas.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reports that nearly one-third of young women in rural Morocco are neither in school, employed, nor enrolled in training programs (NEET). While Morocco's agricultural system continues to grow, improvements in road infrastructure have helped enhance access to education.
