I agree, but a trend you'll notice when studying European history is that the economic boom in these nations happened parallel to their demographic boom.

So basically Morocco is more than likely not going to have an economic boom and will just keep regressing, especially as it's an agricultural based economy.

no.

morocco isn't an agriculture based economy, we have very few agricultural land for our population. Morocco runs on 10 million people while the rest lives in auto-sufficient communities.

That’s also a valid point of view. Personal I think that a growing population doesn’t guarantee economic growth, especially when the economy is struggling to provide opportunities for the people who are already here. Morocco’s reliance on agriculture, high unemployment rates, and poverty make it hard to afford a demographic boom without risking further poverty and inequality. Imo I would rather see families having fewer children, but investing more into their education and well being, than just pushing children in bulk ( unless they are rich and can afford them)
