The Secretary General of the Government, Mohamed Hajjawi, has submitted to the government a draft decree to approve the final results of the 2024 General Population and Housing Census, which shows that Morocco's population has reached 36,828,330 people.
Ahead of the General Population and Housing Census scheduled for September 1-30, 2024, Morocco is seeking 55,000 data collectors. The High Commission for Planning announced applications are open online until February 27th.
According to the United States Department of State's recent estimates, 100,000 Sahrawis live in Tindouf. This number comes as the Security Council has urged the UN for years to conduct a population census in the camps.
