Cet épisode analyse le poids du secteur informel dans l’économie marocaine et ses principaux défis. Les intervenants expliquent que l’informel constitue à la fois un mécanisme de survie pour une grande partie de la population et un frein à la productivité, à la fiscalité et à la protection sociale. Ils montrent également que la formalisation dépend surtout des incitations économiques, fiscales et sociales mises en place par l’État.
