Young people in Morocco are leaving school or taking on precarious jobs to support themselves and their families. Some juggle odd jobs with their studies, often sacrificing personal development. These youths come from various regions of the kingdom and settle temporarily in cities like Meknes to find work.
In Meknes, these young workers shared their experiences, highlighting the difficult choices they face. The jobs they take are often unstable, offering little security. This situation affects their ability to focus on education and personal growth, creating a cycle of struggle.
The primary evidence indicates that these young workers are driven by the need for financial support. The temporary nature of their settlement suggests a search for immediate income rather than long-term career prospects.
