Distribution of the employed population in urban areas in Morocco in the 4th quarter of 2019, by employment type
Employees are persons of working age who are engaged in any activity with the aim of producing goods or providing services for pay or profit. Self-employed workers, on the other hand, refer to workers who work on their own account with one or a few partners or in cooperative, and whose job remuneration directly comes from profits that are derived from the goods and services that are produced.
