Moroccan lawmakers have approved measures aimed at broadening employment opportunities and improving working conditions. The new legislation, spearheaded by Younes Sekkouri, extends job-seeking incentives previously unavailable to individuals without formal qualifications, utilizing the ANAPEC agency. Simultaneously, the reforms address the lengthy work shifts common in the private security sector. Specifically, the law seeks to transition security personnel away from the current practice of twelve-hour shifts towards standard working hours. This change aims to improve the well-being of security agents and align their conditions with broader labor laws. The approved texts were adopted on June 22nd and represent a significant step in Moroccan labor policy. These measures are expected to impact both job seekers and the private security industry.
