Why Morocco Is Poor?

As of the mid- to late- decade of the 2000s, the most common explanation for income inequality in America was "skill-biased technological change" (SBTC) – "a shift in the production technology that favors skilled over unskilled labor by increasing its relative productivity and, therefore, its relative demand".

and economic volatility. It is difficult for Moroccans to transition out of poverty with over a quarter of Morocco's adult population being illiterate.

Is Morocco a poverty country?

Morocco has made remarkable progress reducing poverty over the last decade. Today, less than 9 percent of its population is considered poor, compared with 16.2 percent a decade ago—a notable achievement for a country of 32 mil- lion people that lacks significant natural resources.

Is Morocco a developed country?

One of the most developed countries in Africa, Morocco is a melting pot of indigenous Berber, African, Arab and European influences. Due to its strategic location and proximity to Europe, the kingdom has been able to accommodate its cultural diversity in a stable and politically inclusive system.
