In plain words
38.4 m people
What it is. This is the estimated number of people living in Morocco at the middle of the year, expressed in millions. It is a single headcount for the whole country, and age, location and employment sit in other series. Many per-person measures use it as their denominator, so a revision here changes those figures too.
Neither way is good in itself. A larger population brings more workers and customers and more demand for homes, schools and public services, while a smaller one eases that demand and shrinks the labour pool. The latest figure, for January 2025, is 38.4 million, up from 38.1 million a year earlier. That is a rise of 0.35 million, or 0.92%. Since 2016 the population has grown from 35 million, and the current figure is the highest in that span.
Why it matters. With 38.4 million people, Morocco has to provide homes, classrooms and jobs for a population that grew by 0.92% in the latest year. Firms count the same people as a domestic market and a source of labour. The state uses the total as the base for planning public services and budgets.
