Abstract

This contribution is part of an understanding of the choice of individuals for informal employment in the Moroccan labor market. The aim is to show the different determinants that influence this choice and to highlight the key features that characterize them. The household survey (410 households) on the Marrakech-Safi region of Morocco was used for this exploratory work, the data of which will allow econometric modeling using the Logistic Regression method. The demonstration to which our contribution is directed confirms that the change in age, the low level of qualification, the status of the head of the household, the low social level and conditions of work are the main determinants of the choice of informal employment. This allowed us to ask new questions about informal employment in terms of recommendations. The pratical implications of these findings are discussed.
