As of 2019, while 36 percent of 136 respondents in Morocco felt that the gap that exists between the rich and the poor in the country was getting worse, 31 percent of them thought that it was getting somewhat worse. Moreover, 19 percent of the surveyed stakeholders indicated that the wealth gap had remained the same. Poverty is one of the major issues identified in Morocco, and lack of irrigation in crop production, as well as unemployment, are some of the attributed reasons. In 2019, it was estimated that almost nine million Moroccans could be considered poor or threatened by poverty.
