En juillet 2017, l’OCP Policy Center a publié un ouvrage collectif intitulé Cohésion Sociale, Institutions et Politiques Publiques sous la direction du Professeur Abdallah Saaf, Senior Fellow à OCP Policy Center. Cet ouvrage est le fruit des différentes réflexions échangées à l’occasion d’une conférence organisée le Jeudi 27 Octobre 2016 qui se sont traduites par des contributions écrites. A cette occasion, les auteurs se sont donné comme objectif d’éclairer la notion de « cohésion sociale » en traitant de son histoire, ses implications ainsi que son implémentation à travers différents chapitres. Alors que le Maroc se développe sur le plan économique, les revendications sociales croient en parallèle ce qui nécessite d’assurer une cohésion sociale garante d’une paix sociale. Ce Policy Brief se propose de revenir sur la notion de cohésion sociale dans son origine en sociologie, de présenter brièvement l’évolution du Maroc sur le plan sociétal et enfin, de revenir sur les idées phares développées dans le livre.

    Inequality in Morocco: An International Perspective

    Income inequality is high in Morocco. In 2013, the share of national income1  of the richest 10% in Morocco stood at nearly 32%, 12 times higher than the share of national income of the poorest 10% of the population. This paper argues that, drawing on international experience, there is much more that Morocco’s government can do to reduce inequality while at the same time enhancing growth and – possibly – doing so in a manner that is budget-neutral or even budget-positive. Top of the ...

    Income inequality is high in Morocco. In 2013, the share of national income of the richest 10% in Morocco stood at nearly 32%, 12 times higher than the share of national income of the poorest 10% of the population. High inequality can adversely affect long-term growth as it tends to be associated with underutilization of human potential. This paper argues that, drawing on international experience, there is much more that Morocco’s government can do to reduce inequality while at the ...

    Tosin Durotoye is an alumna of the Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Program 2018.  On an unremarkable day in 2015, I woke up and decided it was time to move back home. At the time, “home” was the United States where I’d spent my formative years and lived for over 20 years. However, my birth home – the home at the core of my identity and the home I would be returning to - was Nigeria. My family had immigrated to the U.S. during the Abacha era – a time of great social and politic ...

    Richard Seshie est un Alumni du programme des Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders 2017. Cet article a été précédemment publié ici.  Il prévaut fortement cette idée que nos pouvoirs publics ne sauraient jouer un rôle important pour les startups en Afrique. Dans plusieurs pays, leur nonchalance ou implication maladroite passée laisse dubitatif. Toutefois, c'est la nature historiquement extravertie de nos économies et ses implications qui devrait susciter plus qu'ailleurs un activism ...
  • The End of the Human Race ?

    Poker is a game for real men, cowboys, for example, ocean divers, stunt men, gambling away their meager pay. Poker is America, as oversized as trucks, egos and steaks. A gambler’s paradise. 24/24. Drinks on the house, a discount for the bridal suite. Poker made its way from quaint southern New Orleans to the rough west, where gold diggers gambled away fortunes, and settlers risked their wagons and horses for a game of cards. Decades ago, I met a descendent of this wild bunch in Las ...
