In Morocco, there are different types of intermediation agencies that offer various services, such as direct placement, training, and subsidised employment. The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of two types of these LMIs, namely placement agencies and subsidised employment agencies (specifically, the “IDMAJ” programme), on labour market insertion in Morocco. To achieve this objective, we employed the double-difference method using data from the High Commission of Planning (HCP) “employment” surveys conducted in 2012 and 2015, as well as the matching method using data from the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training’s 2010 survey. The results of our analysis indicate that placement intermediaries contribute significantly in improving employment rates amongst beneficiaries, while the IDMAJ programme has a positive but statistically weak impact on reducing unemployment. Our study is one among several that evaluate the effectiveness of active labour market policies (ALMPs) in Morocco, including Chatri et al. (J Labour Mark Res 55:17, 2021), and Saadi, Laamire, and EL Abbassi (Les Cahiers du Plan, (53), 55–67, 2021).- Reproduced
