Morocco is experiencing a paradoxical situation: high unemployment rates coexist with significant labor shortages in key economic sectors like industry and agriculture. Despite unemployment hovering between 12 and 13 percent, companies are struggling to find qualified workers. The city of Tangier is already feeling the effects, with cabling companies particularly impacted by a lack of available personnel. This shortage raises questions about a skills mismatch within the Moroccan workforce and challenges in attracting young people to certain professions. The issue highlights a potential disconnect between the skills job seekers possess and the demands of the labor market. Further investigation is needed to understand the root causes and potential solutions to this growing problem. This situation could hinder economic growth if left unaddressed.
