Moroccan Informal Economy Workers’ Rights Under Labour Law: A Critical Review and Reflection

Morocco's informal economy workers face significant legal challenges in terms of their rights under existing labour laws. A critical textual analysis was conducted on relevant Moroccan labour legislation combined with secondary data from official government sources and academic literature. Despite efforts by Moroccan authorities to address these issues, significant legal gaps persist, necessitating a more robust implementation strategy and possibly legislative reforms. The government should strengthen enforcement mechanisms for labour laws, prioritise training for law enforcers on informal economy-specific rights, and consider expanding social protection coverage to include workers in the informal sector.
