Abstract

In Morocco, female entrepreneurship represents a major asset for development in the face of the challenges of unemployment and poverty. The growing number of women entrepreneurs, thanks to better access to education and financing, demonstrates a promising dynamic. They contribute significantly to the national economy by creating jobs, generating income and participating in the development of various economic sectors. The objective of this article is to take stock of female entrepreneurship in Morocco, by exploring the motivations and obstacles encountered by women entrepreneurs in Morocco. To do this, we used several databases and scientific repositories to create a succinct literature review. We therefore explored several recent reports, notably from Bank Al Maghreb and MTPME, in order to bring out recent statistics. The analysis made it possible to draw key conclusions. Women embark on entrepreneurship for many and varied reasons: the desire for financial independence, personal fulfillment, contribution to society, innovation and social responsibility. However, they face many specific challenges, such as lack of funding, difficulties reconciling professional and private life, and gender stereotypes.
