Morocco leads on gender inclusion with 41% female industrial workforce

Morocco is emerging as a leader in gender inclusion within Africa’s industrial sector, with women making up 41% of the workforce and holding 30% of management roles. These figures exceed many global averages and reflect sustained progress over the past decade. The pharmaceutical industry is at the forefront of this transformation, achieving near parity across multiple employment levels.

Morocco’s performance challenges common assumptions about gender participation in industrial economies and highlights a broader shift toward inclusive growth. As African economies expand and industrialize, Morocco’s model offers an example of how workforce diversity can support long-term economic development and competitiveness.
