Morocco faces persistent youth labour-market difficulties, reflected in a national unemployment rate of 13.3% in 2024, a markedly higher unemployment rate among young people aged 15–24 (36.7%) and a low youth labour-force participation rate (22.7%). In addition, the scale of youth exclusion from both work and education/training remains substantial, with the High Commission for Planning (HCP) estimating, reported by the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE), that about one in four Moroccans aged 15–24 were neither in employment, education nor training (NEET) in 2022, that is, approximately 1.5 million individuals. This study synthesizes the evidence on how Morocco’s non-profit ecosystem (associations, mutual societies and cooperatives) may contribute to youth employability and access to a dignified job in line with international standards and national regulations, identifies empirical gaps and derives measurable indicators to inform the project’s fieldwork phase. A PRISMA-compliant systematic review was conducted across Scopus, Web of Science, Cairn, Google Scholar and selected grey literature sources (HCP, CESE, ACAPS) over the period 2014–2025 using French, English and Arabic keywords. Of 1,046 records screened, 147 met the inclusion criteria and findings were organized into five analytical themes covering the sector’s economic footprint, employment and job-quality issues, high-potential sub-sectors, evidence gaps and an outlook to 2030. Overall, the literature suggests that non-profit organizations can support employability through multiple pathways (skills development, work experience and service-delivery activities), but reported impacts vary across organizational forms and are frequently limited by informality, uneven managerial capacity and persistent data constraints, particularly for robust measurement of job quality and longer-term trajectories.
