Growth without jobs

Morocco’s economy expands, but employment does not keep pace. This programme examines why growing firms still choose not to hire.

Research area: Economy & enterprise

Morocco’s economy grows, but the growth does not create jobs at the pace it should. This is Atlas Policy’s first major research programme.

It investigates the real cost of hiring, and of adjusting a workforce during hardship; the tax and administrative burden that pushes SME owners toward informality; legal reductions and exemptions that exist in law but go unused; and the state’s own staffing gap, including the unexamined potential of responsible automation.

This programme is where Atlas Policy begins. It will not be where we end. Full papers will be published here.
