A new study on Morocco’s gender pay gap has revealed that the average wage difference is approximately 23%, meaning Moroccan women effectively work for three months a year without pay compared to their male colleagues.
The disparity is even more pronounced in the private sector, where the gap widens to 42.8%.
The study, authored by researcher Maria Charaf, was developed as a practical guide for employers and workers.
It argues that this pay gap is not merely a technical issue of job distribution but a reflection of deep-seated, systemic gender discrimination. This bias, she says, affects women’s access to the job market, promotion opportunities, and social protection.
The report’s findings emphasize that professional equality is a standard of fairness and quality, not just an added bonus. It recommends adopting a comprehensive approach based on wage transparency, activating union monitoring mechanisms, and investing in awareness and training.
The study concludes that addressing this issue requires a broad partnership between the state, the private sector, and civil society to ensure that pay fairness is guaranteed.
