Présentation d'ouvrage: Capital humain et développement économique et social au Maroc

July 6, 2022

Le Policy Center for the New South et le Laboratoire d’Economie Appliquée de la Faculté des Sciences Juridiques, Economiques et Sociales, organisent un séminaire de présentation de l’ouvrage « Capital humain et développement économique et social au Maroc », lundi 4 juillet à 16h. La théorie du capital humain érige la connaissance accumulée et la santé au rang des investissements et recommande aux décideurs, et notamment à ceux des pays en développement, d’en faire le point d’ancrage de leurs politiques économiques et sociales. Ces investissements sont nécessaires non seulement pour mettre les nations sur la voie de la croissance économique, mais aussi en vue de doter les générations futures des qualités d’agilité et de flexibilité dont l’acquisition est rendue nécessaire par les exigences de plus en plus complexes du marché de travail. Le Maroc place l’investissement dans l’être humain au centre de son modèle de développement. En effet, son adhésion aux Objectifs du millénaire du développement (OMD, 2000-2015), puis aux Objectifs du développement durable (ODD, 2016-2030), témoigne d’une volonté à atteindre l’ensemble de ces cibles, dont celles qui concernent la promotion d’une éducation de qualité, l’amélioration du système de santé et la réduction des inégalités. Des avancées ont été réalisées en la matière et les efforts de massification d’accès ont permis de généraliser la scolarisation de base et d’élargir l’offre de soins. Néanmoins, ces efforts ne semblent pas être accompagnés par une amélioration de la qualité des prestations de services publics. Au-delà de ce constat général, la problématique du capital humain au Maroc comporte des ramifications bien plus complexes, qui nécessitent des analyses circonstanciées et approfondies. Ainsi, ce livre, à travers ses 17 chapitres, sélectionnés minutieusement selon les critères de qualité et d’approches méthodologiques, s’inscrit dans cette optique. Celle de creuser dans les questions les plus pointues qui gravitent autour de notre thématique, en particulier dans les secteurs de l’éducation et de la santé.
