Morocco ranked 123rd out of 196 countries in the 2025 global work-life balance index, according to U.S. magazine CEOWORLD, placing the country in the lower segment of this year’s ranking.
The index evaluates how workers manage professional and personal responsibilities, using data from more than 962,000 full-time employees. Scores are based on indicators including weekly work hours, commute times, daily workload, sleep quality, and self-reported satisfaction.
Switzerland topped the 2025 list with a score of 97.67, followed by France at 97.03 and Luxembourg at 96.88. European countries dominated the highest positions, while the United States ranked 15th, Germany 17th, and Australia 18th.
Morocco’s score of 65.09 places it slightly ahead of Peru (124th) and Yemen (125th), and behind regional neighbor Mauritania (121st).
The ranking reflects structural challenges such as long commute times in major cities, extended work hours in both formal and informal sectors, and limited access to social protections and public services.
The report comes as Morocco seeks to expand its industrial base and strengthen its role as a regional logistics hub, highlighting the tension between economic growth and workers’ quality of life.
