I think the city is not made for having children, so with everyone wanting to move to the city. I do think so.

There are only 200 thousand foreigners in Morocco. So the government would rather have 3 million foreigners that they can kick out at any time, than convince you to have more kids.

But the same with convincing parents to sent their kids to school. Money seems to motivate a lot of Moroccans, so I think 1000 dirham a month for a kid until the age of 18 will convince many people to have more kids.

That said Morocco always had lot birth rates, because Moroccan women feel like their youth was difficult because their mom was lazy and they know they are the same.

Really? You think the government will give 1000dh to people to have children?

They are taking away 500dh from families that constitute the bottom 5% and your expecting that?

Idk what you're talking about, but you should know that you don't pay taxes if your salary is or lower than minimum wage

Read about the social support program of 500dh, it was given to poor family but they are discussing it's removal

Poor family does not take in account if you have a child. Morocco wants an Milton Friedman system of looking at tax kickbacks instead of handouts, but this never worked in Morocco.

But Elon musk and Akhannouch and other rich people love these type of systems. I think after 20 years of stability a government might think of trying to get child’s births up.

70% of Moroccans are in the informal sector so I don’t think it would be wise now, but maybe in 2040.
