Morocco : 30 years after the first edition, the HCP launches the National Family Survey

Thirty years after its first edition in 1995, the High Commission for Planning (HCP) is launching the data collection phase of the National Family Survey 2025, which will be conducted in the field until the end of September this year. According to a statement, the process involves «a sample of 14,000 households, representative of both urban and rural areas as well as all regions» of the country. The aim is to gather data «on the structure, organization, and dynamics of Moroccan families» to «better understand the transformations» and assess their effects «on the demographic, socio-economic, and cultural behaviors of the population».

At the same time, this process will «provide an integrated database to better support the development of public policies in the areas of social development, intergenerational solidarity, education, housing, and equal opportunities», the same source adds, emphasizing «the confidentiality of the personal data collected».

In this context, the statistical institution has called for «strong participation from the households that will be approached to ensure the success of this national operation», the results of which will shed more light on family realities in Morocco and support appropriate family policies, in line with concrete needs.
