Morocco's Chief Statistician: New Census to Unveil Insights into Moroccan Family Dynamics
The national census of the Moroccan population and housing, conducted in September, is set to offer profound insights into the evolving dynamics of Moroccan families. Officials are eagerly awaiting the results, which are expected to provide a comprehensive understanding of family structures and relationships.
The High Commission for Planning (HCP) is gearing up to update its data and research samples following the completion of the general population and housing census. This initiative will focus on the Moroccan family and its development, aiming to shed light on the intricate relationships within families and the broader societal context.
In a recent conference, HCP chief Ahmed Lahlimi Alami underscored the significance of the census results in deepening our understanding of family dynamics, particularly the interplay among family members and genders. Lahlimi noted that the upcoming study aims to assess changes in societal and family structures, highlighting an increasing "strangeness" in family relationships. The study will also delve into how young people are navigating demographic, value, and behavioral shifts in response to global developments, with the goal of addressing crucial social issues.
"This study will also assist those looking to enact laws and procedures that respond to the aspirations of young people and the needs of children raised in diverse environments, who carry with them unique values and sometimes frustrated positions in society," Lahlimi stated while addressing journalists' questions during the symposium.
The High Commission for Planning (HCP) recently announced the conclusion of the data collection phase for the 2024 General Population and Housing Census, with the final count wrapping up at midnight.
Lahlimi further emphasized the importance of examining the Moroccan individual within the family context, noting that many individuals have become increasingly detached from their families, as evidenced by rising rates of early divorce. "To know where we are going, we must look at the Moroccan individual within his family," he said.
Lahlimi expressed his belief that community interactions provide a small yet expressive reflection of family dynamics, indicating that the delegation will explore how Moroccan families have evolved based on the recent census data. He also pointed out that previous studies on employment and unemployment were based on the 2014 census. With the updated data, he expects future analyses to be more accurate and insightful.
Lahlimi concluded by recalling that the United Nations Population Fund has recognized the Moroccan experience as a model, with ongoing meetings to present the methodology used in conducting the recent general population and housing census.
The forthcoming census results are poised to provide valuable insights into the evolving nature of Moroccan families, offering a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities they face in a rapidly changing world.
