Most Moroccans bemoan the government’s performance on job creation and on meeting the needs of young people.
A majority of citizens are willing to pay higher taxes to support government programs to help young people, with job creation as the top priority for additional government investment.
Morocco is ranked 93rd in the 2020 Global Youth Development Index, which measures the status of young people in 181 countries around the world.
