YOUTH EMPLOYABILITY INTO THE MOROCCAN LABOR MARKET: SOFT SKILLS A DETERMINING FACTOR

Abstract

The employability of young people is becoming a complex subject with a strong social and economic impact. The lack of job opportunities has become a major problem that has worsened in recent years due to the economic and financial crisis and also due to the subsequent deterioration of the labor market in general. Thus, Morocco, like several other countries in the North African region, is facing major economic and social challenges in the short and long term due to the increase in its active population due to the increase in the number of graduates of higher education on the one hand, and the dynamism of its labor market on the other. Through this contribution, we plan to conduct a discussion of the opportunities and challenges presented by these two phenomena, while emphasizing the importance of soft skills in the professional integration of young graduates, and also, by presenting the main most important soft skills to ensure better employability.
