Informality, Gender and Aging. Cumulative Inequalities and Intergenerational Effects
By Haut Comissariat Au Plan
Since 2021, His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s High Guidance on social development has driven a structural project to extend social protection, focusing on the expansion of mandatory health coverage, the gradual integration of self-employed workers into pension schemes, and the introduction of universal family allowances.
The New Development Model sets out this vision by establishing objectives in terms of decent employment, the economic inclusion of women, and intergenerational sustainability.
The analysis presented in this report examines, in light of the recent results of the 2024 General Population and Housing Census, the conditions for achieving these goals based on a threefold dynamic that aggregate indicators do not capture in isolation, namely the structural weight and persistence of informal employment, the low economic participation of women, and the acceleration of demographic transition. This triptych, whose evolution will determine the environment for future economic and social choices, structures long-term balances and gradually alters the mechanisms of intergenerational redistribution.
