Cet épisode analyse les dynamiques du nexus croissance–pauvreté–inégalités monétaires au Maroc, en mettant en perspective la baisse significative de la pauvreté observée ces dernières années. Il interroge le rôle respectif de la croissance économique et des politiques publiques dans cette évolution. La discussion examine également le paradoxe d’une amélioration des conditions de vie sans réduction marquée des inégalités. Enfin, elle questionne les limites du modèle de croissance marocain et les enjeux d’une transformation structurelle encore inachevée.
