Deputy Moulay El Mehdi Fatimi, member of the Socialist Group in the House of Representatives, on behalf of the said parliamentary group, addressed an oral question to the Head of Government, questioning him on the subject of Morocco’s ranking in terms of the Human Development.
MP Ittihadi underlined in his question Morocco’s decline in the human development index from 122nd place in 2020 to 123rd in 2021, out of a total of 191 countries around the world. , indicating that our country has positioned itself, at the end of the investigation in question, behind Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Libya, Jordan, Egypt, Algeria, Ukraine, Iran and Qatar, some of which are also experiencing particularly critical situations and circumstances.
The parliamentarian, member of the Socialist Group, went on to recall that since the 1990s of the past century, the UN institution, the UNDP, has continued to issue annual reports pointing out the human development index of the whole of the countries of the planet relying in terms of
classification and evaluation on three essential criteria and additional data relating mainly to the projected average age (life expectancy), education and the vital level of the population in relation, of course, to power of purchase.
Moulay El Mehdi Fatimi developed, on this, that the decline recorded in the said ranking might be explained by the inability of the State to raise the quality and the generalization of education and by the manifest drop in individual income. report of the Moroccan citizen, adding that the publication of this annual report nevertheless arouses a semblance of surprise and astonishment for our country because it finds itself oddly in a position well below a certain number of countries experiencing particular difficulties and innumerable problems and exerting efforts
of development by far less important than those granted by Morocco. For this purpose,
he observes, it is incumbent on us to pay greater attention to the statistical data put forward by this international institution.
To this end, by noting this important observation, the deputy ittihadi made a point of questioning, on behalf of the Socialist Group in the House of Representatives, the head of government regarding the degree of veracity and the nature of the statistical system adopted in the preparation of the said reports in view of the major efforts
deployed by Morocco in all directions, particularly in the fields of health and education, being preponderant sectors in terms of qualification, and ranking of the level of human development.
