Morocco, despite its image as a modernizing nation, is behind most countries with equivalent potential with respect to its employment practices, particularly those related to women’s employment, promotions, and pay parity. Morocco has made significant gains through legislative action and other pronouncements that deal with gender equality in the workplace. Despite these improvements, Morocco’s scores on the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap ratings are static and Morocco is losing ground compared to other countries in the region, as well as those with similar aspirations. Women are underrepresented in the workforce, and tend to work in less skilled and underpaid positions with few opportunities to rise to leadership positions. Women and women’s issues are largely underrepresented in unions, and there are societal factors that limit women’s access to and retention of decent work opportunities.
