Morocco lacks labor

In Morocco, the shortage of labor in the construction and public works sector is a real and widespread problem which could have a negative impact on large construction sites opened as part of preparations for the 2030 Football World Cup . Professionals in the sector offer solutions.

Construction projects in different regions of the kingdom, including those related to preparations for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, are experiencing delays due to labor shortages. “The building and public works sector in Morocco is facing real challenges that threaten the smooth running of projects and their delivery times, with a glaring lack of manpower to execute projects on time,” said confirmed an entrepreneur and owner of a construction company in Casablanca, with Hespress. According to him, this situation increases the contractual risks faced by companies, as delays lead to significant financial losses and damage the reputation of companies. To compensate for the labor shortage, some companies are using workers already on the job.
