Abstract
The authors assess state measures targeting graduate unemployment in Morocco. After first situating the problem in the context of unemployment generally, they show empirically the variety that characterizes the targeted population, the actors involved, and the labour market. Their analysis demonstrates how the theory underlying state intervention in this area produces a partial, reductionist view of the problem. In conclusion, they propose guidelines to enable this diversity and the general characteristics of unemployment to be taken fully into consideration when policy is being formulated.
