The CSR and the inequality of employment opportunities for women and men in Morocco

Abstract

In the era of sustainable development, women's access to employment has become the concern of businesses in Morocco, like in other developing countries. In order to deal with this concern, the business community has moved towards development goals, including equality between men and women. However, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), affecting the environmental as well as the social aspect, is at the center of the issue of inequalities between men and women in employment.

The objective of this research is to study the application of Corporate Social Responsibility practices in terms of equality between men and women by Moroccan companies. Here we take a great interest in the consideration of gender within the CSR process. Conceptually, gender or more precisely gender equality is strongly present, accompanied by various legislative texts, charters and standards. In the field, equality between men and women is quite different. This research deals with the gender issue framed by CSR in the Moroccan context, drawing on studies by the CGEM and the HCP.
