Zapojení žen na trhu práce v Maroku: specifika, bariéry a podpůrná opatření

This bachelor thesis examines the issue of women’s participation in the labour market in Morocco. The main objective is to explore the specifics of the Moroccan labour market with a focus on women and to identify the key barriers limiting their economic participation. A secondary objective is to assess the effectiveness of selected measures aimed at overcoming these barriers. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter presents the theoretical background and factors influencing women’s economic activity. The second chapter reviews the position of women in the Moroccan labour market in terms of employment, unemployment, sectoral structure, historical development, legal framework, social norms, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The third chapter focuses on selected measures and national strategies adopted in Morocco to promote women’s labour force participation. The findings show that the main obstacles include legal restrictions, structural problems of the labour market, cultural norms, the unequal distribution of unpaid care work, and insufficient availability of childcare services. Despite several initiatives to support women’s employment in recent years, their effectiveness often remains limited. The thesis therefore highlights the need for a comprehensive approach combining legislative, economic, and social measures.
