NAPI-MEI Youth Roundtable: Youth participation in public life in Morocco

Although people under the age of 25 account for 43% of Morocco’s population,  there are very low levels of youth representation in public life, especially in government decision-making. Young people in Morocco often feel ignored by the political system, leading to disinterest and disconnection. Political apathy is prevalent as young Moroccans do not see the relevance of politics to their daily lives. In addition, limited access to information about political issues and the political process makes it challenging for them to participate.
