Dynamics and transformations of the Moroccan immigration in the world: a synthetic overview

Brahim Kidou, Hasna Tnourji, Nadia Atiki

The settlement of Moroccan emigrants abroad dates back a long time, its beginnings coincided with the colonial settlement in Morocco. It has increased over the years and reached its peak in the last two decades, particularly towards the countries of Western Europe. Thus, this migratory phenomenon has diversified to generate different transformations in the migration process and in the demographic structure of the migrants, their destinations, and their types of integration and social advancement in the host countries. Its volume now exceeds five million individuals. Currently, the Moroccan immigrants are distributed differently in almost 100 countries in the world. The Moroccan community abroad reaches at present its third generation in the old host countries. Moreover, the participation of Moroccan immigration in the support of the Moroccan economy is still important. 


Keywords: Moroccan Immigration, World, Characteristics, Dynamics aspects, Transformations.
